I'm downloading Pardus Linux today. It is not in the top 10 on distrowatch and it is Turkish targeted Linux (but with good internationalization) yet I hear a lot of praise for it. I noticed that people who praise it consider it better than Ubuntu. I hope this is something original, as advertised, and not just another Ubuntu clone.


Hi cbpporter.

I use Pardus (2008.1) too. As you've said,it is well internationalized. But I wouldn't say that it is way better than ubuntu. Pardus is very easy to use and relatively "eyecandy" (not because of some fancy gui toolkit (It uses KDE), but rather because of it's official cartoon style). But I have to warn you about it's main drawback: Pardus pacakge installer "PISI" and it's own repositories. Pardus does not officially support *deb, or *.rpm pacakges. It has it's own packages in XML style *.pisi packages, though it'sown repositories are satisfying. And this makes installing other packages and their dependencies harder. If you need any help or have questions, maybe I can help you. Smile


Regards.
