Pardus is a Linux distribution developed by the Turkish
National Research Institute of Electronics and Cryptology (UEKAE),
an arm of the Scientific and Technological Research Council of
Turkey (TÜBİTAK). Unlike most distributions, it is not
based on another; an original, in the same sense that Debian is an
original Linux distribution.This article presents a review of Pardus 2011.2, the latest
stable version, which was released on September 19 2011. It is the
third release this year and judging from the distribution’s release
history, Cervus elaphus, as it is also known, should be the last
for the year.
