PCLinuxOS 2009 Beta ScreenShots and Review

Posted by freesoftnews in PCLinuxOS Comments Off

Our first ScreenShot review of PCLinuxOS 2009 Beta. My first thoughts is that WoW PCLinuxOS uses the apt-get Debian utility for its package management system as well as the Control Center from Mandrake. The best of 2 worlds! Also PCLinuxOS makes sure that Java and Flash is already integrated into the standard install so that [...]

How to Perfectly Kill a Perfect Distribution

Posted by freesoftnews in PCLinuxOS 2 comments

PCLinuxOS was the perfect distribution in 2007. It had all the bells and whistles to be an excellent Windows XP alternative. Here the the things I loved about PCLinuxOS
1. Good looking UI ( OK I admit that I love KDE ).
2. Almost mimicking XP look and Feel ( now [...]

Posted by freesoftnews in PCLinuxOS Comments Off

In his quest to find the simplest Linux distribution, Jack Wallen makes a stop at PCLinuxOS and may have found the holy grail of simple operating systems. Read Jack’s take on PCLinuxOS and decide for yourself if PCLinuxOS is your “go-to” Linux distribution.

PCLinuxOS 2007 Review

Posted by freesoftnews in PCLinuxOS Comments Off

The last time I looked at PCLinuxOS was version 0.92, which according to DistroWatch was about 3 years ago. I was asked to take a look at it again, so here I go.
I’m aware that this version is pretty old by now (June 2008), but as of this writing it was the latest full non-beta [...]

Linux Shootout: 7 Desktop Distros Compared

Posted by freesoftnews in Linux, MEPIS, Mandriva, PCLinuxOS, Suse, Ubuntu Comments Off

We tested openSUSE, Ubuntu 8.4, PCLinuxOS, Mandriva Linux One, Fedora, SimplyMEPIS, and CentOS 5.1. All performed well, and each had at least one truly outstanding feature.
In the last couple of years, desktop-friendly Linux distributions have taken enormous leaps — they’re easier to install, better maintained, and more powerful than ever before. There’s also that many [...]

PCLinuxOS goes the extra mile

Posted by freesoftnews in PCLinuxOS Comments Off

Ever since my exploration of the various PCLinuxOS spins, I’ve been impressed with the project. Now that I’m having so much relative success with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, it’s unlikely that I will be running PCLinuxOS on my Gateway Solo 1450 laptop, but a) you never know and b) I’m looking for a good system to [...]
