In reaction to your post mark ...
If distrowatch picked it up ... Andreas has some explaining to do .. for starters to TobiG .. and after that to the rest of us .. this is not good publicity for us ... he is really sort of shooting us all through the head with this message .. especially now it is public on distrowatch ... thanks Andreas for stabbing us in the back i suppose .. like it says on distrowatch ... i guess he can do this though .. as i understand he owns the trademark .. giving him sort of the right to kill it off ... :(
I think if he put this message on the server recently .. he is intentionally .. doing this to all of us .. but ok let us wait for his defense .. maybe you can shed some light on this matter TobiG ?? ... i cant imagine this doesnt shock you either ..
But for now ..
Regards,
Johnbon

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.
