Pardus 2009 review
Pardus is a Linux, desktop-oriented operating system. The latest release, Pardus 2009, was made available for download a few weeks ago.
Pardus sports a graphical installer that is pretty easy and straight forward to use Just point-and-click. NEXT. BACK if you change your mind about something in the previous step. While being simple to use, the installer lacks support for configuring LVM, soft RAID, and disk encryption. The default filesystem is ext4. Other filesystems types available are Reiserfs, Ext3, XFS, NTFS, and fat32.
The default desktop environment on Pardus is the K Desktop Environment (KDE), and that is the only desktop environment I could find in the repos (default and contrib). In essence if you must use Gnome, Xfce, or any other desktop environment, you’ll have to point Pardus’s package manager to a third-party repo.
The first thing I look for on a newly installed desktop operating system is the lineup of application icons on the panel. Are the apps (especially system utilities) a user most likely to use on the panel, or do they have to go digging for them in the menu?
