"National" operating systems; what's up with that?

gorinw13:
 not to forget that Turkey developed Pardus Linux Operating system.

zridling:
Pardus has always been one of the more elegant distros, and is widely translated. Here's the English site, and Pardus's ABOUT PAGE explains a lot on this very topic. Thanks gorin!

Also, thanks Paul for posting about Bayanihan Linux. Very nice!

Oh, and that penguin/bear does look so depressed, as if he's about to drown himself.

+1 on that Zaine!


Pardus is an excellent piece of work. The now nearly defunct Linux.com website did a nice review on the 2008 release back in August 2008. It can be found here:

I had it running on a test machine for a while. It was one of the better non-mainstream distros I've tried. And having DVD playback work right out of the box was a real plus. All in all, a rather pretty looking distro that worked exceptionally well.

iphigenie:
are we saying that the governments are building the distros? or just that a team from those countries has created a distribution that has good language support and good local community and therefore is quite logically a good choice locally?

It used to be that (DLD and) SUSE were "german" distributions, and Mandrake was french etc. - but they transcended this

Paul Keith:
Yep, government.
