you know me. I am no enemy of clear words and of action.
Honestly, if the attitude of Yoper developers for Eye Candy is that back wards, we might as well shut Yoper down. I will certainly not put my name on the line for a distro that is:
1.) Unstable
2.) Takes ages to install
3.) Has absolutely no up to date packaging and hardly any interesting packages (no OO!!!)
4.) Does not have the latest Eye Candy
5.) Where developers have left the ideal of taking the best of other distro's and integrate it
Are you guys still doing Yoper or would it not be better starting your own distro? Maybe call if Flopper?
Saying that Xgl "slows" things down is pretty laughable given the fact that XGL actually uses the Video RAM for its Rendering (and the GPU) and that in itself is more than what your Yoper is doing at the moment.
I feel Yoper is diverting from its path and given the fact that you published an alpha that does not even install on standard systems (how apalling!), I think that you should review any future release. I will certainly have a word on anything that comes out as after all this is my baby and I will not let my baby run like that.
Get my point?

For my part, it was an assumption :) Even KDE slows down a PC compared to
Flux or XFCE - so the added 3d goodness of Xgl is likely to require larger
amounts of memory simply to perform the eye candy side of things.
However, I am open to correction :)
