Pardus 2007.1 — Almost Perfect
I’ve already had the pleasure of testing Pardus once and it made a good impression on me. Recently the new edition, Pardus 2007.1, came out and I’ve decided to try both the LiveCD and the installation versions. This edition is almost fabulous, but “almost” makes a big difference which we are going to elaborate on a bit later.
Graphics and all the details are of high quality. After KDE is started, an application called Kaptain helps you to set up basic elements of KDE and as a result you’ll get a desktop which is shown on the first picture.
Critical Path — start and operation of system
Because I wasn’t connected to the Internet the setup window for network connection properties appeared right after Kaptain started (picture 2). As you can see, the system detected not only the network interface but also the wireless one. A lot of distributions will do this by loading a bcm43xxx module without firmware but in this case command ls/lib/firmware surpassed all my expectations which is presented on picture no. 3.
