Do we know if the critics here http://beranger.org/index.php?page=diary&2007/12/21/09/43/08-pardus-2007-3-the-same-ol-window are being addressed in 2008?

Pardus' unique tools will use PolicyKit to set privileges of users. See more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PolicyKit.
So there will be no windows-like(!) system privileges.

Here is a concept of PolicyKit. Watch the video of new user-manager;

Looks really great, thanks for this.
How is that going to fit with the updating of the system through pisi? Will we have to set up a root account when moving to 2008 or should do a fresh install to make sure we have a root user?

Pardus 2006 does not exist, so that would be spectacular. In 2006 Pardus was called 1.0

Not within 2.5 hours . You still have to wait some more before Pardus 2008 is released...

I think pardus 2008 will be using a new repo. I tried pardus 2008 on virtualbox and I feel its really beautifully, installer desktop every thing looks very professional and beautiful at the same time. I am using sidux 2008-03 right now and will move back to pardus as soon the 2008 edition is release.
I feel the time its taking to release 2008 edition is justified, it takes time the create beauty

From the stylish French Pardus website http://www.pardus-fr.org I got this (found in their own forum):

Voici la premiere news et ce n'est pas une bonne nouvelle pour les impatients.

J'ai discuté avec les developpeurs hier et ils prèferent attendre la release 4.1 de KDE pour sortir Pardus dans la foulée.

Sachant que la première beta est le 27 Mai et la version finale le 29 Juillet: il va encore falloir etre très patient.

Pour ceux qui ont des problemes de compatibilité materielle, je rappelle qu'un tuto est dispo ici : http://www.pardus-fr.org/forum/index.php/topic,224.0.html

=========================

As I understand Pardus developers choose to await the KDE 4.1 release and not hurry with the other dstro's into preliminary KDE4 releases.

One of the strengths of Pardus is, I feel, that the developers rather choose to take their time to come with a well thought and well built new release than to choose to be fixed at specific release dates.

So for now apparently the 2008 beta is expected by the end of this month and the final release by July/August.

In the frnech forum there is a link to people who cannot await this (e.g. because of lack of specific hardware support in the current 2.6.18 kernel used) in which a howto is provided for compiling a 2.6.24 kernel for the current 2007.3 Pardus system.
