Review: Pardus Linux 2007.2
,----[ Quote ]
| Friendliness: 4/5- The team clearly put some effort into usability.
| Performance: 4/5- KDE slows it down, but just a bit.
| Features: 5/5- Uber-complete single-CD install.
| Packaging: 3.5/5- Interesting proprietary installer. It would work well with
| a bigger repository.
| Artwork: 2.5/2.5- Custom icons look good, and Kaptan allows you to get the
| desktop set up exactly the way you want it.
| Community: 1.5/2.5- It's a Turkish distribution, and the English community
| isn't all that big. Yet.
| Overall: 4.1/5- A distribution worth watching.
| From Pardus 2007.2,

Review: CentOS 5
,----[ Quote ]
| CentOS 5.0 gets high marks from me for a lot of what they do, but looses a
| few points for some of the things they either forgot to do, or chose not to
| do. For business use, it’s a well rounded Linux distribution that’s ready for
| the desktop for certain. But for the portable user and the home user, I feel
| that it needs to grow a bit more before it will find its way onto my
| shortlist of recommended Linux distributions. With what I’ve seen, I’d really
| love for it to reach that level at some point, but for now it’s not. But I
| must say, the developers have done well and I look forward to future versions
| and all the great new things that they will be bringing about in the years to
| come!

A First Look At CentOS 5
,----[ Quote ]
| After what has become a few weeks with it, I believe CentOS 5 is a
| worthy successor to previous versions. If you're in the market for
| an easy to use Linux operating system, you will find me suggesting it.

CentOS 5 as a Desktop System
,----[ Quote ]
| CentOS 5 is a stable system which can be user either as a server OS or
| as a desktop system for a normal user. The latter requires a few
| modifications in the default installation (like the performance
| fixes mentioned in the article), but after the tweaking is done,
| it works great and is worth recommending.

CentOS The Red Hat Clone
,----[ Quote ]
| The release of the free, community-based CentOS 5 Enterprise Linux so
| soon after the RHEL 5 release is hardly a surprise; the same thing
| happened with RHEL 4 two years ago. Nor does Red Hat consider CentOS
| a competitor, but rather a distribution that fills a need. The
| company also said CentOS will help it grow its business.
