I've been reading very good things about Pardus. Any Pardus users here, or people who follow the project, who can advise about using 2007.2 Beta? Any raves, etc about it? Just curious.

I have no time to try this beta but I think that pardus is a very interesting project... 2007.1 is very good...

What I'm curious about is whether or not the beta is 2007.1 with a full-system update. If so, I'd be saving myself a lot of time to install it over 2007.1. I was impressed that when I dropped it in my office tower for fun, the installer automatically detected the 1280*1024 resolution. But the dearth of English forum support is daunting.

I'm planning to test the final 2007.2 out, but i have no time to test a beta out. I reserve that time for distros i actually run full time. I'll give you my report when it's out.
My time with 2007.1 was bitter sweet.

pros;
well built kde
interesting package manager
administrative qt/kde gui tools

cons;
lack of system control from cli (more cli tools please)
no network scripts for wireless (cli that is...)
too many "turkish" leftovers in the english version.

If they would remove the cons, i would actually consider running it full time.
