Started writing "the" Pardus book |
|
Sunday, 29 January 2006 |
|
I've very recently started the book for Pardus, which is an easy-to-use operating system for desktop use. I'll only touch main desktop features of Pardus, and not explain the inner working principles of Linux operating system. I expect to write 300+ pages for Pardus. Time will show how much it will take. |

Pardus 1.0 is out with some innovative ideas (yes, implemented, also!). For some screenshots, check Çaglar's blog and see how it looks like. We love our Pardus! |

Pardus is an easy to install and use Linux distribution, with many enhancements to desktop usability, compatibility and security. One interesting point with Pardus is that, it has its own package manager, PiSi, which has its own characteristics and advantages over other package managers. With PiSi, developers can enjoy packaging new software in an efficient way. End users will get comfortable with PiSi's fast and hassle-free software installation interface. With a few clicks, you can easily search for utilities you need and install it on your disk. Another feature is YALI, which is a Linux installer written from scratch.
Pardus comes with one CD and additional software can be downloaded from PiSi GUI. Pardus 1.0 can be installed in Turkish and English and downloaded from ftp.uludag.org.tr.
Meanwhile, you can check Uludağ web page for latest Pardus news.

Thread from agile usability list |
|
Saturday, 03 December 2005 |

Nice conversation in agile-usability ML on Yahoogroups. Tobias Mayer asks: "A few months ago I read a posting on this list which expressed something to the effect of (and I paraphrase as I cannot find the reference): good UI design is not necessarily instantly intuitive. Users need to be taught a new UI; the trick is to teach them only once. On second and subsequent uses the UI should be intuitive. And Jon Meads answers: A good quote I once heard was that "The only thing that is intuitive is a mother's nipple, everything else is learned." When someone talks about an intuitive UI, they are talking about a UI that matches the user's previous expereinces so well that it is easily and quickly recognizable in terms of affordance and navigation. And, understanding what they would be means understanding the users very well -- which means taking the time to identify who the users are and study them. |

Karl Fogel, one of the main developers of Subversion project, released a book "Producing Open Source Software", which is for any developer who wants to run a successful F/OSS project, from choosing a name to maintaining a mailing list, from communication to packaging and releasing the software. The ideas are presented in a concise and clean manner, which lets almost every F/OSS hobbiest understand the working principles of such a project.

1000 PCs migrated to Linux |

Dutch Record Shop Chain Migrates 1000 PCs to KDE on Novell Linux Desktop. Yet the Dutch Free Record Shop is deploying it on a large scale as the operating system for their point of sale systems.
According to Arrachart (CEO) although all essential components are present, a great deal of software has been stripped out of the KDE Desktop GUI. The applications remaining include a PDF viewer and X Server, with KDE's Kiosk mode and associated admin tool being used to
lock down the configuration.
