Pardus Linux 2007.2 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| The last time I tried Pardus (around 6 months ago) there were frequent
| freezes, and I mean a lot; to such an extent that it did not allow me to do
| anything usefull to it. But I can see the effect of consistent hard work from
| pardus developors. Pardus is far from being complete but it is on the right
| track, may be one year from now, it will be shine amongst rest of distros.

,----[ Quote ]
| I hope that with the recent release, Pardus will continue to climb the ranks
| and get closer to the top where it deserves to be. For those looking for a
| great out-of-the-box KDE-based distribution, I highly recommend giving Pardus
| a shot, you will not be disappointed. Unfortunately, as I have a few
| distributions lined up to review, I will be replacing Pardus with something
| new tomorrow! For those that can advocate further, regarding their use with
| Pardus, please post comments so other readers can see what you have
| experienced.

Pardus [Linux] 2007.2 - Unrivalled Wlan Support.
,----[ Quote ]
| I managed to get these 5 wifi cards connected to my Linksys router
| via the WPA-PSK encryption protocol out-of-the-box with the help of the
| network manager. The connectivity was excellent. Despite still using the
| softmac stack instead of the devicescape stack, Pardus Kurulan 2007.2
| (installation CD) managed to conquer all of these notebook-based wlan
| cards.

Review: Pardus Linux 2007 Kurulan RC2
,----[ Quote ]
| I've suddenly become an advocate for Pardus Linux. I've thoroughly enjoyed
| playing with this "Kurulan" RC2 release and actually find it as capable as
| some of the much bigger players that I tend to toy with. It may not have the
| biggest English community of all the distros but I hope that situation
| changes because this is actually an excellent release.

Pardus 2007.1 -- Almost Perfect
,----[ Quote ]
| Pardus is a unique distribution which has its own solutions which
| work very well. I think that the distribution deserves far greater
| renown than it has currently and if it keeps up such innovation
| and quality, it'll be an important player in the category of
| extensive desktop distributions.

Review: PCLinuxOS 2007 Test 3
,----[ Quote ]
| I look forward to seeing how this distribution, like SimplyMEPIS,
| continues to improve and bring a friendly and comprehensive
| configuration system to Linux. New Linux users would do well to
| check out either of these distributions. However if you're using
| a recent model Nvidia card, I have to recommend SimplyMEPIS
| over PCLinuxOS for its out of the box Nvidia driver support.

Pardus gives Linux a custom lift
,----[ Quote ]
| Apart from a KDE desktop and applications, the developers of the
| Pardus 2007 Linux distribution have built an entire distribution
| from scratch. Pardus, released last month, has its own multilingual
| installer, custom dependency-resolving package manager, and an INIT
| system that slashes boot times by several seconds. The distribution
| has come a long way since its first release in 2005, when it was
| based on Gentoo and lacked a package manager. Thanks to its custom
| tools, it's one of the easiest Linux distribution to run and manage.
|
| [...]
|
| If you've been using a Linux distribution for some time, getting
| used to Pardus wouldn't take long, despite all its custom tools. New
| users will appreciate the ease in carrying out out system tasks such
| as setting up firewalls and managing startup services. With its
| modest hardware requirements and streamlined boot scripts,
| Pardus could easily turn an old machine gathering dust into
| a modern Linux desktop.

Pardus Linux 2007
,----[ Quote ]
| Having seen dozens of Linux distributions announcing themselves with
| great enthusiasm only to disappear at the sight of a first problem a
| few months later, I am not easily impressed by any new arrival on the
| Linux distro scene. As such, when the first stable release of Pardus
| Linux was announced in 2005, I found myself inserting the installation
| CD with a considerable amount of scepticism.
