We're happy to announce the first Release Candidate of Yoper Linux 2010 - Codename Dresden an i686 Linux distribution optimized for simple desktop use. This is one step closer to a simple, yet powerful Linux desktop for the enthusiastic Linux user, that just works, but still leaves you in control.
Release highlights are a recent 2.6.31 kernel with the zen-kernel patchset. Xserver 1.7.4 with the nouveau driver instead of the older nv driver. This release will ship in 2 fashions. 1) The slim ISO which contains a most basic system for absolute personal control and customization. 2) The KDE4 ISO which includes the just released KDE 4.4.0 and a range of other cutting-edge desktop packages. The simple, but refined installer will allow you to install a full KDE4 desktop environment in less than 10 minutes. A slim installation can be done in less than 2 minutes. Perfect for those who love to have full control over their system. The currently available desktop environments are Fluxbox, Openbox, XFCE4, KDE3 for the conservative user and KDE4 for the cutting edge enthusiast. Many thanks go to the team @ http://zen-sources.org/ for providing a consistent framework to use the latest and greatest kernel additions in a reliable manner. For the most daring of you there is also a BFS enabled kernel available.
