Ubuntu got because it doesn't bring anything new to the table but the same old debian. Ubuntu on my system was slow, its bloated and its not that easy to use for new windows users as they say it is. I feel that its topping the distrowatch list because they gives you CDs for free and in countries like india where broadband internet connection is still a dream for many, free CDs are like gods gift.

Because smilies depicts your feelings without wasting words.

So if i format the external harddisk with ext3 it will behave just like a fat32 mass storage device?

How about adding dazuko to the kernel by default. It will be great to have a anti virus on pardus because number of Linux viruses are ever increasing, whether critical or not viruses are there. And dazuko provides on access scanning for anti virus softwares.

I have a external hardisk which i use for storing backup, it is connected through USB. It is formated with NTFS but i want format with a linux filesystem. Which will you recommend, will it work just like a mass storage device like its doing now.
Or should i go for fat32 or NTFS.

Hi,
I am Jaideep from Delhi, India. I am using GNU/Linux and BSDs for last 4yrs but still I can't call myself an expert. My list of  GNU/Linux and BSDs and what I feel about the OS goes like this:

Redhat
Mandriva
Ubuntu
ArchLinux
Slackware
SimplyMEPIS
Yoper
Zenwork
Elive
SUSE
Vector
FreeBSD
PC-BSD
NetBSD
OpenBSD

Pardus

I am a management student, in a sense I an clearing the myth that GNU/Linux and BSDs are for software engineers and geeks. I can't remember when I last installed or used Windows on my laptop or desktop. Using Open Source free s/w for me got nothing to do with the cost, but its the bird like feeling you get when you use, feels like you are free from bindings of close sourced s/w, I hope you guys understand what I mean.
I will try to contribute more in this forum.
And thanks Pardus community for creating this damn good distro. I never expected such level of professional feel that this distro gives me.

I tried again and this time removed all the USB devices except the printer and now its working, thanks so so much.

Then what should i do? This never happen with any other distro.

did you check the snapshot?, you will see the option disabled.

yes hplip was installed by default

No it didn't work i tried it on every USB port, I never had such a problem in any other linux distro.

Facing another problem, I have a HP1020 printer which uses foo2zjs driver, i have installed the driver but when i try to add the printer using tasma printer dialog box, the option for local printer is disabled, I have tried reboot also but no help, the printer is connected by USB, even localhost:631 is all not detection my printer.
I am attaching a screenshot.

Thank you very much, I had to clear this doubt because I want to use pardus linux for a long time to come.

I am a new pardus 2007.2 user, it is the only OS i am using right now. I have a very basic question, how do I update my OS using pisi in the init level 3. Why I want to update in init level 3 is because at this level xorg is not running and so no change of damaging my system if update fails.

One more thing, is it safe to update in Gui using the package manager in case there is a kdebase or xorg update, wouldn't that mess up the system.
