pardus 2008.1 review

So far has no noticeable differences between the last version therefore I will not review it. Instead I shall link you to my last review: Pardus 2008 review

I was expecting ked 4.1.1 to be in this release but apparently not, it’s actually quite hard to notice that anythings changed, the new install imported my old theme settings and the like.

Update: I found the reason for my mistake about kde, pardus 2008.1 has a livecd version with kde 4.1.1 this is to show the progress of pardus with kde 4, apparently it must not be ready to be used as a main desktop.

My experience with PCBSD 7

didn’t happen

the installer was only able to recognise my windows partitions. I wanted to overwrite my 12GB ext3 partition and mount my 30GB ext3 partition as home unfortunately it seems that bsd cannot even identify ext3 partitions so no hope of salvaging my home files. My home partition has precious files on it so I cannot reformat it as the the bsd native file system (UFS?).

This is a real shame I thought reviewing pardus would be too similar to my other pardus review so I wanted to try something new.

update: It appears that its possible to mount ext3 partitions after install, information from a few years ago suggests bsd supports reading but not writing of ext3; I would like to know the current status of write support however even if it did have write support I still wouldn’t install pcbsd due to a mixture of laziness and my horrible experience of trying to mount ntfs drives in an old version of ubuntu.

new update: ext3 can be mounted as ext2 with read/write support however if I go back to linux I would have to rebuild the journal, I’m not sure how to do that and a quick google has yielded no results, any help would be much appreciated.

Pardus 2008.1 released

Pardus 2008.1 has been released.

Interestingly it comes with kde 4.1.1 therefore I will review it in just over a week (my reviewing process takes a week but it may take me awhile before i install the new pardus on my system).

Movie and Anime reviews

From now on this blog will include movie and anime reviews. Before this blog was dedicated to video game reviews and Linux/Other OS’s/general geekery. I will soon create a new page which details how I review things. I will also create a pages for anime and movie reviews respectively.

Update: Review system page added will make my reccomendation page soon.
