PARDUS Laboratory
Pardus is a Debian GNU/Linux distribution developed in Türkiye by TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM, and it is a free and open source operating system. It was developed in order to reduce dependence on foreign sources in the field of information technology, to strengthen cyber security and to achieve cost savings by providing a flexible operating system infrastructure on which critical systems can run, which supports open and standard data structures, which allows its source code to be examined when necessary and which can be adapted to different needs. Accordingly, the Pardus laboratory was established to familiarize the Computer and Software Engineering students at our university with the principle of open source code. There are 64 computers in the laboratory available for student use.
