Review: Pardus Linux 2007.2
Pardus Linux is a distribution built from scratch rather than from any one particular existing distribution. Born in 2005 through funding and development provided by the Scientific & Technological Research Council of Turkey, it's grown quickly and become a distribution worth taking a good long look at. Pardus is a system designed around the premise of "ease of use". It's also a distribution that has somewhat of a "fun" feel to it. But is Pardus all fun and games, or is it a real solid distribution that everyone can use? Let's find out.
Installation
The Pardus install disk boots very quickly and gives you the choice of nine different languages which you can work from, including Turkish, English, Dutch, German, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Italian, French and Catalan. Upon selecting your language of choice, the install CD then proceeds to ask you which configuration you want to boot up in. You can boot into the Pardus install in either a normal, "standard graphics", or a minimalistic configuration. There's also the option for doing a memory test, booting from the hard drive, or switching your language. Selecting the normal loading configuration, Pardus goes to work detecting hardware and setting up a lot of basic system services. This takes a couple minutes, but when you're done, everything is in perfect shape and all your hardware is properly detected.
After a few moments, Pardus brings you to a welcome screen which is part one in a three part setup process.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
