Pardus 2008: A touch of refinement
Pardus is a GNU/Linux distribution funded and developed by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey. Pardus has its own unique installer, package manager, configuration wizard, and control panel. This originality, and the developers' attention to detail, make Pardus worth a look.
From the beginning of my experience, Pardus showed its attention to detail. The installer is so incredibly simple that even a Microsoft fan would be hard-pressed to complain. The installer hasn't changed much since we took a look at the previous release seven months ago, so I won't reiterate the process, but it's still worth mentioning how easy to use the installer is. My only complaint is that my choice of Dvorak for keyboard layout was not available as an option.
After the install and subsequent reboot, Kaptan, the initial desktop configuration wizard, appears onscreen to allow you to set up options such as background image and menu orientation, as well as your network. Like the installer, this wizard is easy to use and understand.
After Kaptan finished I ran Tasma.
