Confusion... by j3110 · 2004-09-13 10:14 · Score: 0, Redundant

I should go ahead and post to clear that up since people are saying it /.'d already. Yoper is built to be fast, and is supposed to be faster than Gentoo by what looks like 50% or more. A serious speed advantage.

I was thinking the same thing until I read the article. The blurb is a bit confusing. I think it supports apt as well.

It gets performance by pre-linking the binaries. Somewhere between dynamic and static there must exist "prelinking".

Looks like a fun idea that should be applied to VM languages dynamically if it isn't already.

It has nothing to do with yum, and everything to do with legality and what Redhat can distribute w/o getting into trouble. Don't confuse technology with legal issues.

You sir, are a complete fucking idiot. No really, I'm serious. You need to learn a lot more about Gentoo, Fedora, Debian, Linux, *nix, benchmarking, compiler optimizations, using a compiler, computers in general, and et cetera before you speak about these things ever again.
