If both of those pages are referring to the progress of Pardus 2008 why does the Turkish one show 65% progress and the English one 46%?

Is there any indication anywhere of when an iso for Pardus 2008, an alpha or beta or anything, will be available?

I blew away my pardus partition on the weekend while I was playing with other stuff and I'm debating whether to reinstall 2007.3 or wait for something from 2008.

Seconded.

I was going to start a new thread asking why pardus is still on 2.6.18 but I guess others have the same question.

I installed 2007.3 last night and although I haven't had time to play with it much it seems to have all the pardus goodness I remember from before and is very fast and responsive. But, for a distro that comes ootb with firefox 2.0.0.9 and kde 3.5.8, why is it still with 2.6.18?

I boot about 8 other distros on my machine and most have a version of 2.6.22, one is 2.6.20 something and a couple are at 2.6.23. I'm the first to admit I know nothing about kernels but don't later versions increase peripheral useability with new drivers and such?

Anyway, very happy with what pardus has given this time but just curious about the kernel version thing.

This was referenced on LXer Linux news on my iGoogle home page.

I choose Opera because it is by far the best browser/mail client/rss reader/download manager all in one package for me.

I just don't get hung up on the open-source thing.
