Pardus isn’t perfect, but its flaws and shortcomings are relatively minor compared to many if not most other distributions I’ve tried, including recent releases of some of the big names in Linux.

for starters: a new … pardus… in … town
As I mentioned at the start, Pardus is not based on Slackware, Debian, Red Hat, or anything else and in this day and age that’s a real rarity. It’s nice to see someone trying to do something different and not imitate. I think this distro is really one to watch in the future; it’s come…
