Playing with it now ,based on James T recommendation, So far ( 10 hours since install ) I've not had hardware problems ( damned nvidia and all that ), came up with my main time wasters (firefox thunderbird, xchat , and pidgin ) already installed and current . Seems to be replete with tools ( console and gui ) , Doesn't get stupid about passwords ( like every other keystroke ) Oh yeah , switched to Enlightement and got the basics , seems to be as solid as kde or gnome ( xfce "just worked" ) The installer must be that ( " a few rough edges," ) but it worked. AND it works acceptably on a ol' one lung P4 with hyperthreading
Just early days , but nice catch James T , gonna have to work to complain about this one

Atolboo what are the pros against Mageia?
The margin of Pclos over Mageia is very small. There KDE implementation is slightly better. And there implementation of the Control Center also. Packages in the repo are packed with better support/details. Examples: You can install the latest VB with the 'Get Oracle VM Virtualbox' script and it does also installs the extension pack automatically with it. Kdenlive automatically comes with the XVid4 .avi rendering option. Of course there will there will be exceptions with respect to packages. There reaction to problems here and here is outstanding  compared to Mageia here. There is still a problem with automatic resolution detection of my HP LP2475w monitor. As that can be set manually, it's not a show stopper. SolusOs: I miss KDE there and is still very young. Chakra: My experience is that it's rather unstable with there packages and still very young. Sabayon Linux: Uses Gentoo testing and how stable is that. But I never get PCLinuxOS Live CD running. Every time it stops at the moment searching USB (something). It is the only Distro where I get this. So never get the change to test it.
I never got that problem and you can also test there reaction to your problem. Most of these concerns are valid Atolboo ,but temporary (and changeable ),I would hate to see the master of P3 * go and get old ,and fat and rusty. * ( P3 = Pisi Packaging Powers ) anglo

I guess that is just what Pardus is for me, a show stopper. If you can't have the best , everything else will just have to do anglo, I'm surprised you haven't tried Snowflake. It is Debian-based, maybe that is why, but it implements the I17 desktop. Mind reading now? atm I'm using "Snow Linux' with it's E17 ( Americans spell funny ), a good distro for a Canadian Still using Pardus, Pardus original on one partiton and Pardus Anka on another.
One way or another , I will be using pisi, pardus(anka) again,just not in a rush

I have said it before, linux is linux , and none of the varieties are perfect. I'm here for the community , it's the people that come here that attract me . So I can endorse Dirse's idea. anglo

Currently , I'm looking at distros that are using Pardus technology ( as a theme ). Best that I can tell , that would be Chakra ( Plymouth ), and SolusOs ( Pisi ). If this continues , we may have to name change this site to "Pisi World Forum" and then we can tell all the other distros "pisi on them "
( ok ok , bad joke ) SolusOs , at least is stable , has a good community , and it installed easily on a machine with only .5 Gig memory. This is early days , so I haven't found any show stoppers.,,,,,,,,yet. Anglo

General / The Pub / Re: Antitrust Investigation Against Microsoft in Turkey

This is actually old news, going back half a decade. It is enlivened nowadays: http://www.takvimhaber.com/haber/bilim-teknoloji/13122-linuxun-yayilmasini-kim-onledi.htmlTurkish Antitrust Authority (Competition Board) is investigating Microsoft for using unfair competition tactics against Linux in Turkey (I am using broad legal terminology, mixing American & European legal terms). The boss of the Turkish company "Gelecek A.S." ("(The) Future Inc.") has started the fight years ago. In the meantime, his company has died (dissolved & under liquidation), but the legal investigation against MS is going on. Turkish Antitrust Authority is somewhat like a government agency, but also independent (like FDA, FCC, SEC, etc. in the U.S). It is one of the strongest governmental bodies in Turkey. The funny thing is, current Turkish government (the prime minister, his cabinet, limited circle) is pro-Islam (actually, liberals / conservatives economy-wise, outright capitalists). Yet, there are more "pro-Islam"s in Turkey (but, not like those fundemantalists in Afghanistan). And, these side with the left-wing! Hence, Linux / free software is supported by these pro-Islams (mixed with Turkish ultra-nationalists, softer Kemalists, harder Marxists, all in a hub). Let's see the outcome of this investigation. There is already a crack within the Turkish government as to "who is more Muslim, real Muslim and, who is more national?" I hope Linux benefits from all this Babylonian Towerish atmosphere. God works in mysterious ways  This will be interesting to watch

I am a bit reluctant as SolusOS concerns because so much seems to be dependent on just one excellent person? Or is that a statement you regard as too simplifed?
As far as I understand it , he has some others working with him on the original Solus o/s, I imagine that some will be helpingwith the new one later. anglo

Hi Anglo, I installed LinuxLive USB Creator and I had same error to install Anka, but I have not been able to install other soft because my Memory USB had a very very unfortunate visit to washer machine  .....I mean, divice is damaged. Hola Yoyo ¿ya pudiste hacer la prueba con el otro programa?  But now you have VERY clean usb stick now  Some possiblities First you may wish to read this : http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=59127.0( sorry for the english ) You may want to try using UNetBootin (it's on Pardus 2011.1 ) or , if you have downloaded the Anka folder , then you may wish to tries to use "dd" , but likely you will have to install the boot manually ( look on google for "POOR MAN'S INSTALL" for better , more complete instructons /tutorial ). Or try new pardus install on a VM , and then upgrade to Anka from there. These are old tricks , I have not attempted to try , because all I have is (very ) old machines. Good luck Anglo
