Released in early July 2017, Pardus 17 is based on the Debian GNU/Linux 9 “Stretch” operating system and it’s powered by the long-term supported Linux 4.9 kernel series. Now, the first point release, Pardus 17.1, is available to download bringing all the latest technologies from the Debian GNU/Linux 9.2 “Stretch” release. On top of that, Pardus 17.1 makes various user-visible changes, such as to rename the Downloads folder to Downloaded, enhance the System Settings Menu, redesign the default printer test page, remove the password for the live “pardus” user, update the Symbol system theme, as well as to add a bunch of new desktop wallpapers.
