I remember it . I have a very vivid
memory of my first hand experience with first version of Pardus Linux
. It was fun and excitement to use a unique operating system with a
package manager named Pisi.
Since I have always liked linux
distributions which are different , not used by common home users
Pardus Linux was my favourite along with Arch Linux both on my
desktop and laptop for years . I am still using Arch Linux . Pardus
Linux was “ forced to die” due to some unknown reasons ( Turkish
government stopped funding the project ? ) and a new Pardus with
debian under the hood was created . Pisi and the uniqueness behind
this distribution was left to rot and a sweet dream died for many
like me.
Recently some guys ( I really don`t
know who they are) Anka-Team a voluntary developers team of Pisi Linux ( thanks to erdinc gultekin for the info ) lead by project leader Serdar Soytetir ( thanks to Richard de Bruin for the info ) , ex-Pardus fans who sticked to the
Pisi dream and had the potential to rise the kitty from ashes created
a new distribution with the name of Pisi Linux . More detail information about Pisi Linux and the development team can be found on this link from Pisi Linux WORLD . Worth to mention here is that although Pisi Linux main website is offered in Turkish language only but Pisi Linux WORLD is English language based and contains all the news, updates , download links and forum for Pisi Linux .
There were news about this new project and even Distrowatch added this distribution to their database but then something of mysterious nature happened and this neonate distribution was condemned , treated as a step child and the project was blamed to be immature.
Addendum:
I want to understand the reason why Pisi Linux has been treated as a foster and step child since its day of inception . We daily see so many forks of forks distributions with nothing pure and original , all such forks just add eye candy to an existing distribution and re-invent the same wheel again and again . Pisi Linux is uunique and original . It does not arise or depend on any other distribution . Everything on Pisi Linux is made from scratch up . Even its predecessor Pardus Linux was not a forked distribution. So why is Pisi Linux received in such an un-welcome way? Just because someone labeled this project as immature all the hard work and efforts to run this project has become baseless??
Please comment and let me know the real side of story if it looks like I am missing something . Ok I read about it and I think it was some kind of flame war lit by some unfortunate misunderstandings,so let`s forget it and move on with how Pisi Linux is serving me so well this time.

Out of curiosity and having an
association with Pisi through ex-Pardus I kept on following this
project to see their progress since they sounded to be resilient and
persistent despite the initial unfortunate incidents happened to
their project . Honestly they were sort of slow and it looked like
this distribution will suffer an infantile demise . But recently I
noticed some new developmental events going on at this project when they
released beta version to their first release but I was still
skeptical to try out their work . Last night I noticed they have come
up with an RC version . This was the time to mess up with the
reincarnated kitty so I downloaded and installed it on my desktop and
it was a wonderful experience .
I want others to test and know for themselves . But I have no reluctance to say that I have no regrets to try it and I am going to use this new Pisi Linux since it really impressed me totally. There are going to be issues since its still an infant project but why not test and see what are these people trying to do in this project ??

One command I love on my Pisi Linux is
~ $ sudo pisi ur && sudo pisi up
~ $ sudo pisi up
is enough, it will update repository as well
