"With thousands of packages to maintain, most important part of any distribution is indeed its package management system. PiSi is the package manager of Pardus, written from scratch in Python. By writing another package manager, our purpose was not to reinvent the wheel but to create a new kind of wheel that takes distinctive ideas from existing ones with also easy integration and maintanence in mind."

Pardus has become another promising GNU/Linux desktop distribution that fortunatly gets a lot of attention lately. Very good.
What i like about Pardus is the fact that they actually try to improve a lot of things, make stuff easier or improve usability, and not just present another combination of well known tools. Besides the package manager discussed here they work on the init system (Murdur), an application ability hub (Comar), an easy installer (Yali) and finally a much more straight-forward KDE control center.
I tested it a while ago (1.0 times) and i guess it got much better. It can't compete eye-to-eye with more established distributions yet, but if they keep up the good work, i don't doubt that Pardus will carve its place.
