Yoper 3.1 Beta
YOPER (Your OPERating system) promises to be a i686 optimized, fast linux distribution. The latest beta 3.1 was released to public testing on 22-April.
I decided to try YOPER only because it claims to be faster. "YOPER is a compact, personalized, and optimized operating system with support for apt-rpm and tgz packages. There are 1200 packages available, carefully selected and compiled for speed and stability. It has an automatic hardware detection system which should detect most modern hardware", is the extract given in the About YOPER page.
YOPER does not offer may options in the boot menu while booting from CD. The two options available were "Boot YOPER" and "Boot YOPER in Failsafe Mode" . I selected the "Boot YOPER" and the boot progress was shown in very large font. YOPER did not display boot splash screen and after a while it showed four options out of which I chose "Install YOPER" (another important option was "Live CD"). The installation was text based and offered simple steps. I configured the root/home/swap partitions and filesystem types(using cfdisk), chose GRUB as the boot loader and the actual installation started.
