Yoper

Yoper is a high performance distribution hailing from New Zealand. "yOPeR" stands for your operating system, and it strives to be fast and compact. The binaries are compiled on Intel 686 PCs and the system is optimised for these or higher processors. Once the base system has been installed, you can add packages from RPM, .deb or .tgz formats.

One of the primary purposes of Yoper is to support commercial conversions of office software from Windows to Yoper. These conversions will be done by trained and certified professionals within the Yoper franchise. That said, Ydesktop-3.2.1 Release Candidate 3, Yoper for the desktop, is available for download.

We found Yoper through this DesktopLinux.com interview with Andreas Girardet, founder of Yoper. Thanks to B. E. Irwin
