tforsman Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Pardus (Linux) is now officially dead. Pardus 2011 family, that has made the first stable release on 21 January 2011, followed by 2011.1 and 2011.2 releases, has reached end of life. From now on, any future software updates won't be made for Pardus 2011. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this version and use. And there is no 2012. Think corporate will continue update due contracts they have for it in Turkey. http://liste.pardus.org.tr/pardus-devel/20...ary/002330.html The message on the mailing-list is from Semen Cirit, working at TIBITAK. So that is an official announcement. It's a shame, i loved Pardus. Very user friendly and rolling dist. Even had some unique applications just for pardus. Let's see if the community can manage to fork it....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It is a shame when distros die off. Like you said, hopefully the community will fork it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I never tried Pardus. It's still sad, though. I hate to see any Linux distro end up in the dust bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abarbarian Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 That is a shame as it was an "original" type distro and there are only a few of them around. It had some interesting features that I liked but I sadly never got around to trailing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecdn Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I liked Pardus. It had some nice features and looked very good. The installer seemed very noob friendly. When they released each version it was always very up to date but then they never followed through keeping it up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturnian Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 http://liste.pardus.org.tr/pardus-devel/20...ary/002330.html The message on the mailing-list is from Semen Cirit, working at TIBITAK. So that is an official announcement. There's a very interesting message posted from a Pardus developer, further on in that same thread: http://liste.pardus.org.tr/pardus-devel/20...ary/002345.html And, a thread at the Pardus Worldforum, regarding a possible fork: http://worldforum.pardus-linux.nl/index.php?topic=4312.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
