Turkish Linux distro deemed ready for export
Sep. 12, 2008

In this review, Marcel Gommans describes installing and using Pardus Linux. Clearly a user and fan as well as a reviewer, Gommans wonders why the distribution is not better-known outside of Turkey, given its outstanding usability for beginning and advanced users alike.

In the review, Gommans highlights user-friendly Pardus features, such as the distribution's multi-language installation support, and "Kaptan Desktop" configuration wizard. His tests find hardware support to be excellent, and the installation process smooth. Once installed, Pardus's package manager avails users of lots of great software packages, most with custom Pardus splash screens.

In particular, Gommans is impressed with the gaming applications available in Pardus. He writes, "My kids forget their Windows games when they see how far Linux gaming has come. They play on-line with fantastic first person shooters like Sauerbraten, Urban Terror, or World of Padman. Or they enjoy great race games like Torcs, Trigger, and Mania Drive. The times when Linux offered no more than a nice game of Mahjongg are long gone, and Pardus has a big collection of games where everyone can find something he or she likes."
