I have been "watching" this distro for awhile and does anyone at LQ
use Yoper
http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?is...100607#feature

I want to check it out
and after reading Distrowatch's lukewarm review
was wonderin if any Yoper users had their own review?
thanks

I'm not aware of any unique attribute that would motivate me to try Yoper. When I tried it several years ago, it seemed like......
"Yet another Linux distro"

I've just installed the Xfce version of Yoper on my guest partition, alongside Fedora. The installation and boot are fast, but it is "yet another distro". There are two irritating bugs:

1. The GUI tool for setting the time zone is broken, leaving you stuck on NZ time until you manually alter the configuration file. Even then, it assumes the hardware clock is set to local time.

2. It defaults to a US keyboard and the GUI tool for that doesn't work either.

The second bug does seem to be a common problem for small distros from USA/Australasia, where people seem to forget that other keyboards exist. The first bug is probably peculiar to New Zealand, where changing time zones means flying to Australia.
