LINUX MAGAZINE

Linux Magazine DVD

T his month's DVD can help you

original sources combined with the

best features of major distros, mea-

suring up to the demanding

proliferation of network communica-

tions that is ushering in a new era of

business productivity…” Their favorite

part is when they say “carefully opti-

mized.” Yoper likes it fast.

Ve rsion 2.1 promises to be the fastest

Yoper yet. This version also supports

Reiser4 for the root partition, NTFS resiz-

ing, graphical partitioning, and a

clustered control panel.

“The fastest out of the box OS” is a

great niche for a small Linux distro, and

the Yoper team rises to the role. Their

focus is on optimizing everyday Linux

packages to deliver higher performance.

Try out Yoper, and see if you notice the

difference.

compute faster, test better, and

educate yourself. We start with the

brand-new version of Yoper, which

claims to be the fastest distribution

around. The latest release of Knoppix is

also included, always something handy

to have. The rest of the DVD is packed

full of videos of the lectures from the

recent aKademy Conference – just sit

back and learn from the experts!

connections. FreeNX alone may be rea-

son enough to start up Knoppix 3.6.

FreeNX is based on the NX X compres-

sion technology.

FreeNX can reportedly support a per-

fectly responsive X11 session over a 56K

dialup modem. Even if you are happy

with the last Knoppix, you might as well

try this one too. Why not? It all boots

from a CD, so if you don’t like it, you can

always reboot.

Knoppix 3.6

The Knoppix juggernaut keeps on rising.

This month’s DVD includes version 3.6,

known as the aKademy version. Inside

you’ll find Linux kernel 2.4.27 – with

kernel 2.6.7 as a boot option – KDE

3.2.3, and Gimp version 2.0.

This version also includes ndiswrap-

per, for loading proprietary wireless

drivers. Debuting with version 3.6 is the

FreeNX server, a tool for supporting

super-efficient X sessions over network

Yoper 2.1

The creators of Yoper call it, “…a multi-

purpose, high-performance operating

system that has been carefully optimized

for PCs with 686-or-higher processor

types. The binaries that come with Yoper

have been built from scratch using the

Linux Kernel 2.6

This month we feature cutting-edge ker-

nels from the 2.6.8 series. We also

include the 2.6.9-rc1 release candidate

development release. This month’ Ker-

nelware is in the /Kernels 2.6 directory:
