Pardus 2007.3: the same ol' Windows mocker
...so you should not install such a crap, nor recommend it to other people!
Until some time in March this year, I considered Pardus to be a very promising distro, but then I noticed how they screwed up the whole security concept, for allowing the "administrative" user to perform certain administrative tasks (including add/remove of packages) without being asked for a password!
I have also noticed that removing yourself from wheel will make you unable to open certain GUI tools: TASMA is a hack that replaces the confusing KDE Control Center, but unlike the original, it won't ask you for a password when administrative operations are attempted. Simply put, you can't configure certain things unless you're either root, or an "administrative" user. Terribly Windowish.
With 2007.2 (I guess) they added the option to set the first user as non-administrative. Actually, it's up to you now to autologin or not, and to be a regular user or not.
This still doesn't fix the wrong concept that a user (the first one, usually) "should" be able to perform administrative tasks "no question asked". Surprisingly, very few users and reviewers ever complained about this blunder of the Turkish team...
My way was sung by Frank Sinatra ? Beranger blues now ?
Many, many years ago I visited Frank's small house with my parents. It had no evidence of the presence of the rat pack. One room was devoted to a table of model electric trains. I played with it. Frank was very good oil painter and had done quite a collection of bright colors. I later asked him to auction some off, before he passed away.
Beranger is quite opinionated on many things, and it takes some getting used to, to appreciate his laments. RHEL is still v7.2 with a few gui? Personnel changes at RedHat touches off some sentimentality. But then Linux is moving quite fast, trailing hardware semiconductor linewidth miniaturization, and power savings requirement with 250 million transistors in a cpu; some day soon double or triple the number of transistors on a computer chip. Lowering current density by software is the tricky engineering feat? Turning on/off of protected memory of realtime threads is one way to reduce current density on any chip?
Small distros should be excused for sudo security laxes. Who cares if they will never do enterprise systems in Turkey; they can always use Google Apps or Office Live. We do need more multilingual Linux OSes?
