10 Reasons to Try PCLinuxOS

PCLinuxOS, Distros, and 10 reasons to try PCLinuxOS.

,----[ Quote ] | 1. It's drop dead gorgeous, and very professional looking. | 2. The Beryl/Compiz 3D acceleration effects are terrific--much | better than any other distro I've tried. | 3. The repository has over 5000 packages, and updates are | incredibly prompt, smooth, and easy to do. Synaptic, the GUI | package manager works easily and reliably with the repository's | RPM packages. Dependency issues are usually well handled. All | the development programs and libraries are up to date. | 4. An up to date KDE version (3.5.6). | 5. Bugs, problems, and issues are promptly fixed. | 6. The PCLinuxOS community is positive and helpful. | Documentation is excellent. Support is excellent. | 7. It's quick and snappy. | 8. Everything works. | 9. Its very easy to install ... and ... | 10. It doesn't require the largess and financial backing | of a millionaire to keep it going. `----

This is clearly a shot at ubuntu, but I'd bet the "largess" is only intended to get the ball rolling, with the long-term plan for ubuntu to be self-sufficient, or even profitable.

If all goes well. Certainly RHT is profitable (though a pipsqueak compared to MSFT); there's a market out there.

It's about time that Roy posted something that was factual. While I can't comment on #2 because I have not tried that stuff, the other

9 are right on the money.

As for #10, it's true. Shuttlecock's money has certainly helped push ubuntu, which is buggy and not as good as PCLinuxOS (IMHO) to the top of distrowatch overall.

Why is it any different? Answer : it isn't. FUD.

No smoother than Ubuntu breed.

Guesswork.

Unlike this NG.

No. Not everything works. Who wrote this? A fanboy?

What does this mean?

Yeh but it runs KDE which is only around to make it easier for Wintards like you able to open web browser in Linux.

Cheers.
