From the Yoper FAQ:
"Yoper fills the gap between the guru-only Gentoo or Linux from scratch OS's, and Linux distros used by businesses or home users, that still want the best possible desktop."
Well I use Gentoo and frankly I am not a Guru. Gentoo is IMHO the "best" source-based Linux distribution. It gives you the power of installing either binary packages or source based "portages". The major advantage is that you can install portages so that you have applications that are tailor-made for your CPU: Why install i386/i586/i686 rpm's when you have Pentium 4 or Athlon XP ?
Needless to say if you have a P4 or XP processor you get a speed/performance advantage.
Gentoo is closest that Linux gets to the supposedly venerable FreeBSD. Do tell us your experiences with Yoper...
