Go Pardus, go!

Pardus has been a real success after a long development period. The evolutionary approach in its underlying infrastructure is interesting and promising. Starting from 1.1, we will be looking for interested developers - after documenting the major parts, i.e PiSi, ÇOMAR and YALI.

Yep, and the KControl integration is the cherry on top of the cake. ;)

Yes, but the question is why gui administration backends cannot be unified. The only way to do it is to integrate it into KDE so vendors need to privide interfaces. YaST is open source GPL. Hope it will get fully ported to Debian.

That's false.
First of all, YaST has been close software for quite a long time, only recently was GPL'd, and I remember the said integration at least since SuSE 7.0.
The thing is that the KDE libraries are under the LGPL. Therefore you CAN link closed software to them. You just need to pay Trolltech for the Qt commercial license.

Non, in contrary to what you said YaST was never closed software but has been available with sources all the time. However before it was licensed under GPL it had a clause that you may only spread it in non-commercial ways and have to get code changes back to SuSE.

Okay. s/"close source"/"not GPL compatible"/g

...more than one year ago
vs.
...only recently
YaST was always "open Source".
Now it is GPL. Time to integrate it and ship YaST backend components with KDE as default.
We have basically three - four important Desktop Linux families
* Redhat
* Suse/Novell with YaST
* Mandrake
* Debian
The user does not care whether configuration stuff is distribtion or desktop environment related. When I have a problem with my mouse I want to change the configuration. Both YaST and KControl modules are relevant here. We need only one module.
The Desktop Environment, here KDE, has the possibility to dictate the configuration backend. A power that has to be used because Distributors are unable to make the necessary changes on their own to get compatibility with other distributions.

No. The Qt frontend is, not more.

This is a very good Linux distribution. I think it deserves atleast one test by everyone.
