My Pardus 2009.1 Experience
If you're a KDE fan but haven't taken Pardus Linux out for a spin in awhile, maybe it's time you should. Yesterday brought us Pardus 2009.1 which features the new hybrid .iso files, one of the easiest installers around in YALI, a sweet KDE 4.3.4 desktop, and growing number of available applications. I gave the new version of Pardus a shot and here's what I found.
Pardus 2009.1 includes the latest stable version of KDE 4.3.4, Linux kernel 2.6.31.11, OpenOffice.Org 3.1.1.5, Mozilla Firefox 3.5.7, Gimp 2.6.8, Xorg 1.6.5 and Python 2.6.4.
Appearance
The Pardus 2009.1 graphical features are evident immediately after you insert the Pardus 2009.1. This distro comes with a maroon graphical look that appears throughout the startup and transitions into a sharp blue desktop that I really liked. The menus style, themes and other options can be changed within the Kaptan system utility, which will run upon installation or can be configured later. The default setup really makes KDE give off a high class vibe in my opinion and overall everything was right on graphically.
