Support for Pardus 2008.2

[Bahri16]

i have a wish...

... a very long long support time for Pardus 2008.2!

Does anyone know how long 2008.2 will be supported by the developer?

Does anyone know if there will  come a newer kernel  >=2.6.28.xxxx for Pardus 2008.2?

Does anyone know if there will  come firefox3.5x  for Pardus 2008.2?

The corporate version have much similar with 2008.2
So I guess its a option if you like the old KDE 3.5

Yes, Pardus Corporate 2 is an option but I doubt if it will have the same multi-media (and some other) support  as P2008,2009 and 2011.

Yes, it’s true I like better kde3 than 4 and that’s my problem.   In fact I don't like kde4 at all.
And by the way what is “corporate” edition and to whom it is intended ?

I doubt if it will have the same multi-media (and some other) support

– is it mean quality of sound and video will be less than in 2011 ?

I get the impression (but I can't read the Turkish language) that it's going to be made for libraries, schools and post office and ... (to name a few examples) in Turkey.
Don't forget that the developers are payed by the Turkish administration to make an OS for their country.
And it's only to our benefit that they support (and facilitate) other languages.

And what do you prefer in KDE3.5 over KDE4
Or is the list too long

[rocky2]

Or is the list too long Huh?

The list of what I don’t like in kde4 wouldn’t fit the Yellow Pages   (just jokeing).

I don’t like what people call “look & feel”.   Is awkward and too crowded. There is too many options. More not always means better.
Don’t like the way it looks (dolphin), main menu (start button) have to make extra click  to switch through categories instead 1 click (kde3) and You see all of them.
3 is also a less hardware resource demanding than 4.
I was happy with kde3 and can’t see a reason to switch to 4. What for  

[atolboo]

Well it's also a matter of taste (and luckily I can't change that).

And here is my way to make it more KDE3-like:
1. Set Desktop to Folder View (as in KDE3)
       Right-click desktop > Folder View Activity Settings > Activity > Type: Folder View. > OK
2. Remove Desktop Folder
       Right-click desktop > Unlock Widgets > select X marker when cursor is over Desktop Folder
3. Switch to Classic Menu Style
       Right-click Menu icon > Unlock Widgets (if applicable) > Switch to Classic Menu Style
4. Lock Widgets
       Right-click desktop > Lock Widgets

[3 is also a less computer resource demanding than 4.

Try System Settings > Look & Feel > Desktop > Desktop Effects > remove mark at Enable desktop effects > Apply

This is my very short manual.
You can adjust KDE4 more and easier to the individual wishes then KDE3.
And that's the reason it has more settings and is thus a little more complicated.
(and it need ~ 100MB more RAM to achieve this)
