14 DAY TRIAL // Yoper Linux 2010, codenamed ‘Dresden,’ is finally here after a significant amount of testing. The custom-built Linux distro focuses on speed and the latest version is no different. Yoper Linux 2010 comes with an optimized Linux kernel 2.6.33 aimed specifically at desktop users. It’s available in four desktop environment flavors, for all tastes and systems.
“After an extended RC1 period and a few hiccups with our main server we’re finally happy to announce the immediate availability of Yoper Linux 2010. The RC2 feedback was a big thumbs up from all sides,” Tobias Gerschner, the developer of Yoper Linux, wrote in the official announcement.
“So what’s in it? A well tuned 2.6.33 kernel with focus on desktop interactivity and rich driver functionality. For those who look at gaining an extra inch of interactivity get the kernel-bfs package installed. It contains an alternative CPU scheduler which is aimed at the average desktop CPU, instead of the broad range of CPUs the main kernel scheduler has to support,” he added.
Yoper Linux 2010 comes with four desktop options, all of the popular choices with the notable exception of GNOME. You can get Yoper Linux 2010 with KDE4, KDE3, LXDE and XFCE. There are five ISOs available, one for each desktop environment and an SLIM CD version that doesn’t come with a graphical interface.
Yoper Linux is aimed at PCs and is designed for both desktop and server use. The emphasis is on speed and it uses several tricks and optimizations to provide the fastest possible experience. It is entirely built from the sources and has no other Linux distribution as a base. It does use several popular distros as inspiration, though, and some features may be similar.
