I have been poking around the Yoper distro's website and joined the forum 
there as well. 

www.yoper.com

I installed this distro after Malcolm's recommendation to check it out...it is 
slick, 1 cd only and FAST!  It is fairly new and born out of New Zealand it 
seems. It is an rpm based system utilizing APT for package retreival.  It's 
install was relatively straight forward on 2 of my boxes. They are running a 
tweaked 2.6.8 kernel that has some of Con Kolivas' patches incorporated. I 
ran jack on my Dell Cpxj laptop and was able to set it at 512 x 2 with no 
Xruns as su (could never set below 1024 x 2 before) but I was not able to put 
it through it's paces with Ardour or anything else so that may have been a 
false positive for all I know.

So far not many DAW type apps have been built. Audacity was the only one I 
found. I have started requesting that some of the folks there look at jack, 
Qjackctl, Ardour, JAMin and the LADSPA plugs (Steve's SWH, Toms TAP and CMT 
packages to start) I have also attempted to build some of these myself but 
ran into some problems...

Anyway, it's early days yet but from what I have seen, I think this distro 
looks promising as a great DAW distro along with it's many other usefull 
features.

Check them out and tell me what you think.
