Indeed it is. There was a show-stopper for me though, albeit not specific to Yoper. KDE print manager failed to get my printer (Brother HL1430) going although it recognised it and had the drivers (which surprised me). Yoper uses CUPS, I don't know anything about troubleshooting CUPS. I should have checked if Yoper has the LPRng packages available. Anyway, I had a deadline so back to Slackware 10, LPRng and printing. Vanilla Slackware is fast, just not as fast as Yoper. (It doesn't aim to be either.) Other little things: KPackage dumped core when I was downloading the Nmap apt package from the Yoper site. That was the first and last time I used KPackage and apt. But installing Gnuplot from the rpm worked fine. I always needed 2 attempts to log in. It was like the first never happened. Cheers, Sid.
