Open source tour of Europe: Turkey
,----[ Quote ]
| There are sporadic examples of Turkish open source projects. In August 2007
| Turkey’s Military Recruitment Division, which is part of the Ministry of
| Defense, announced that it was switching to Pardus Linux on all of its 4,500
| desktops and more than five hundred servers.
|
| Pardus is also being used by Turkish Radio and Television Supreme Council as
| part of its digital television archive and analysis project.
|
| Meanwhile CentOS is used along with Apache and MySQL to power Yerelnet, a web
| site designed to encourage collaboration between local governments. Other
| early adepter success stories include Manisa Health Directorate, Petrol-Is,
| and Neziroglu Motors, all of which are using Pardus Linux.
|
| While there are few examples of Turkish open source deployments to date there
| is reason to believe that may will be more in the future thanks to the fact
| that the Ministry of Education is teaching students to use and understand
| open source software as well as Windows as part of the IT curriculum.

Pardus 2008 RC1 - Great Distro Ahead
,----[ Quote ]
| Pardus is an independently developed system with notable visions/history. The
| first version was released during the end of 2006. The initial version had
| many promising features like a new package management system, control center,
| installer and init system. Pardus 2007 also had one of the best looking KDE
| customizations. The lack of some important packages (like fglrx), longer
| installation time and some hardware issues made me to switch to other
| distributions.
|
| Pardus team has released RC version of their latest offering, Pardus 2008.
| This release has some noticeable features which made me to go back to Pardus.

| The first response was again very positive. “I have [a] connection with a

| He continued, “For the client OS migration, we are experiencing a large scale
| project for the Turkish Military now. 5.500 clients will migrate to Pardus (a
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| Turkish government-backed Linux distribution.)”
| He concluded with some words of advice to make a desktop Linux deployment be
| successful: “For the client, you need a usable distribution (Pardus, Kubuntu,
| Suse, etc) with support for Flash, Java, PDF files, and every imaginable
| multimedia format right out of the box. That is, if you install Linux with
| just clicking on next and these come. Then almost 99% of ordinary desktop
| users will be satisfied.”

Battle of the Beasts: Wolvix vs. Pardus
,----[ Quote ]
| Final Score:
| Pardus = 7
| Wolvix = 3
| *Winner, Pardus!
|
| Conclusion:
| Pardus won by quite a large margin mainly because in my own opinion it is
| more polished and complete than Wolvix. However, I can’t fully assume that
| Wolvix is the ultimately loser in this battle since my judgment was solely
| based on the results of my tests and on my hardware alone. To be really fair,
| I need other people’s opinion. So, to those who have also tried these two
| distros, feel free to give us your thoughts.

There’s Something About Pardus
,----[ Quote ]
| I've tried so many distros already and only few have left a lasting
| impression on me. Pardus Linux is now one of the very few. I just love almost
| every vital part of it. The system installer, the package manager, and the
| control center among others are all wonderfully crafted. I can tell that the
| developers took their time to really buff up this distro. I’m sorry to say
| though that Pardus is still pretty much underrated, because many distros are
| far more popular but are not as good as Pardus. Anyway, I’m so glad that I’ve
| tried Pardus, and I would highly recommend it to just about anyone who is
| still searching for a fully featured, easy-to-use, and quality Linux distro.

Review: Pardus Linux 2007.2
,----[ Quote ]
| Really, overall, I like Pardus a lot. I honestly have to admit that I was
| impressed. While it's certainly not to the level of PcLinuxOS, it most
| definitely can hold its own against the major players in the Linux market. If
| you're new to Linux, or a more seasoned user, you will definitely want to
| check it out. Right now I can't give Pardus my official recommendation due to
| a few flaws mentioned above, the biggest being the package manager. However,
| if those few flaws are rectified, I don't see why Pardus wouldn't find its
| way onto my recommended distributions list. It really was one of the more
| enjoyable experiences I've had lately in all my testing. And I've definitely
| tested several different distributions lately, some of which were so bad, the
| only right thing to do was to burn the cd. 0_0;;
|
| So reviewing Pardus was a breath of fresh air. I look forward to the next
| version of Pardus in hopes that it will have ironed out these last couple of
| problems so that I can, with a good conscience, add it to my recommended
| distributions list.

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.

Pardus 2007.2 - A Review

| 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

| Pardus, please post comments so other readers can see what you have

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.
