Distros To Try: Slackware 9.0-rc1 And Yoper 1.0
FrosGate writes "Slackware 9.0-rc1 is now available for public consumption over at www.slackware.com. From the site: 'Some of the main components included are the 2.4.20 Linux kernel, KDE 3.1, GNOME 2.2, and XFree86 4.3.0, as well as gcc-3.2.2 and the latest development libraries. Enjoy!' Enjoy is right!" And Scorchen writes "YOPER has released Version 1.0 of their increasingly popular distro. This is the their first stable release." Here's the announcment. The website claims "With Yoper it is possible to import packages from all the other major distros including rpm's, deb's, and tgz packages."
Ummm.. are you seriously this stupid?
/.
Linux has good power management. APM, ACPI, PMU, etc..
I hate it when people who work for the devil's company post on
--have you ever even used debian?
I smoked it but didnt inhale. No shit, I use debian.
---what orfice are you pulling that crap out of?
The same one as you do..
---YUO=TROLL, you cocksucking fag!!1!
You know, that really was a pathetic troll. If anything, you want to choose a "real name" and pisspeople off by being on the 'other' side of a heavily contraversial issue. Like all those VI vs Emacs bitchNmoans, you loudly scream PICO or nano and devoutly yell that that rock for these reasons..bla bla reason bla bla..
The idea is to insult everybody while sounding intelligent.
Take a look here for one of my better trolls or here for claiming my own post under guise of Anony-coward. I took about 1/3 of all the posts in that WHOLE article in my thread.
Now that's a troll. Not this puny crapette of one. If you'd like to learn, I'll help ya dumbass.
This is not flamebait. It's a direct quote from Yoper's website. While browsing Yoper's forum today, I came upon this post in this thread by the "Yoper Admin":
/. in the same article as slackware. Ignorance is bliss. Stay in your matrix and stay blind. This is a business and not a charity organization for brainless and gutless chickens that fill a forum up with junk.
Stay with your Linux and leave us alone. Business users need us, since they are sick of YOU. We do not need brainless nerds with too much time on their hand. We need businesses who want to save time and money and save their behind from having to hire you." (emphasis added)
"We compiled, tested, packaged, compiled, tested, packaged, compiled, tested, packaged. Until one of you actually tries it how can you even start talking. It is a complete new Linux not based on anything else, targetting the i686 business market. You nerds arenot our business. You nerds are no ones business and this is the reason why as a community we fail to fight M$ properly. After years of dev you could have actually given it an objective go instead of slagging it off and blindly comparing it to slackware only because it was posted on
Amazing that a serious company would post a messag like this. Provides a true insight into their goals and intentions with releasing this distro (basically money).
