Turkish Open Source Operating System Pardus 2009 is on its way...

CAN KUTAY

Pardus, the new operating system by TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey), has developed its 2009 version and will be on web by 17th of July.

Pardus is a Linux based open source operating system which focused on come up with softwares which is entirely Turkish. Good news is, with its new version, TUBITAK aims to get attraction from international users by, publishing Pardus 11 languages including English and French. Pardus, unlike Microsoft and Macintosh, comes with a set of free programs. Amarok, OpenOffice.org, Gimp… with their own functions from playing music to designing your webpages, they come as a package with Pardus.

Another advantage of using Pardus besides being free is its less problemetic than Windows or Apple. No awkward system errors that would cause a system crash, or frozen screens that usually requires a system restart, causing you to lose all unsaved data. I believe it worths a try for only this, since we all know how frustrating it gets when your PC starts to act on its own agenda.
