Further update on this - http://www.yoper.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=7599&pid=43003&st=0&#entry43003 is a post on the forum about the message from Andreas. That relates specifically to the Distrowatch site message - http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20060417#1 The message says - " A sick joke or an attempt to back stab the Yoper project by its own founder? Only Andreas Girardet will know for sure - that's after the visitors of the Yoper FTP server were suddenly greeted with the following message last weekend: "Hello Linux enthusiasts! Good Bye Yoper! If you need a distro, then go to my favourite open source project called openSUSE and a project called SLICK, a light-weight KDE desktop with apt integration and Con Kolivas patched kernel. ISOs for SLICK are currently only on BitTorrent as this FTP server is down for maintenance. Andreas Girardet." Girardet, a talented developer and Linux advocate from New Zealand, is the original founder and developer of Yoper Linux, but he has since left the project as he accepted employment from IBM and Novell. Yoper Linux is currently being maintained as a community distribution by a small group of volunteer coders. On a related note, Girardet's opinions on Linux were recently exposed in Australia's ITWire site." At first I assumed this was some left over from when Andreas left. It may well be - but as Distrowatch have picked it up, we need to clarify what the hell is going on. Adverse publicity is not something we need really. That is now public on Distrowatch - a popular site with Linux users.
