I already posted about installing Pardus 2009 on my EeePC 901 so this is just an update outlining a few problems I'm having.
The first misgiving I have is that no compiz-fusion is available unlike Pardus 2008.2. Instead, kwin is included in the KE4.2 WM. Now, pressing ctrl-F11 actually does give a very nice semi-transparent rotating cube.
However, no way can I find out how to revert from the rotating cube to normal operation. Several of the F-keys (F1, F2, F3) do indeed stop the cube but ALL bring you back to the login page which is not the best.
Another disappointment is that Kiba-Dock which was in the 2008.2 repos seems to be no longer available.
However, the biggest problem is that I jus cannot get a wireless connection despite rt2860sta apparently being available in the 2.6.30.1-123 kernel. I posted to both the English and the Turkish forums on this. In addition, I filed a bug report.
But without wireless, this means that I cannot use Pardus 2009 on this machine when I'm out of the office.

Here's how Pardus 2009 is going for me.

The crash after the cube effect should be fixed in the test repository. It will go into the stable repo when a couple of regressions fixed.
