From Pardus is Linux | PCDomain Wiki
Welcome to my Pardus Wiki
I decided to create this wiki because I seem to be one of the few English speaking American users of this amazing "hybrid source/binary" GNU/Linux distribution. I call Pardus a "hybrid" distribution because the Pardus package manager makes it incredibly easy to install binary packages but also allows you to compile and install the equivalent package from source code with a single command line.
Because I have grown to love Pardus, it has also become the distro of choice for student computers (and hopefully teacher computers) at Jordan Catholic School. I am currently contracted with Jordan Catholic School and serve as the IT Manager for both school buildings (Jordan Elementary and Jordan Middle).
I have found there to be many uses for this distribution mainly because of it's package manager called PISI. With the 2011 and Corporate 2 (Kurumsal 2) release, there has been some major enhancements (especially to the installer which now includes LVM and software RAID support) which in my opinion makes Pardus a viable contender in the Linux world when compared to distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, etc.
My goal is to make Pardus usable by all (even as a server) and to help spread the word about Pardus and how powerful of a distribution it really is.
This is an unofficial wiki and it is not associated or affiliated with pardus.org.tr or TÜBİTAK/UEKAE.

Pardus 2011 LXDE, Fluxbox, XFCE, and Gnome Test Versions!
Go here to read the thread: http://worldforum.pardus-linux.nl/index.php?topic=3770.0
and go here to download: http://comak.comu.edu.tr/nisanbir/
The LXDE version is super light-weight and will run fast even on ultra low-end and obsolete hardware. I have also tried the Fluxbox version but if you don't speak Turkish then don't bother... I have not tried the XFCE or Gnome versions but what's the point? I like XFCE better than Gnome but LXDE is perfect when you don't have enough power to push KDE4.
Pardus 2011 Released!
The successor to the Pardus 2009.2 release is finally here, and it is available in two flavors, 32-bit and 64-bit. You can download the 2011 final release from the Pardus website
