PCLinuxOS 2009 Goes Gold
nerdyH writes "After nearly two years, the PCLinuxOS project has achieved a major new release, PCLinuxOS 2009. The project is notable for maintaining a Linux hardware compatibility database, publishing a freely downloadable monthly Linux magazine, and selling hardware pre-installed with Linux. It boasts a pretty vibrant community, too, and is used by 3.2 percent of DesktopLinux readers, according to an ongoing reader survey there."
Who presumably like' kde 3.5 *slashes wrists*
In other news today, (and I'm not joking), Bill Gates once again became the world's richest man *shoots self in head just to make sure*
It could be worse, they could have called it iPCLinuxOSMacXWin/2.
Fascism trolls keeping me up every night. When I starts a preachin', he HITS ME WITH HIS REICH!
Don't feed the trolls. Fragmentation is so minor a problem for Linux filesystems there is only one distro -- Debian -- that even bothers to offer a defragmentation utility.
FUD does not need a defensive reply. Just tell the truth and let it fall where it will.
Sure, Linux file systems don't need defragmentation, but there are a hell of a lot of distributions to choose from.

I actually know that I don't want to use Gentoo
No worries, with all the configuring and compiling, you'll never have to. Welcome to the fold!
Sometimes, life itself is sarcasm...
shit. apostrophe police are gonna be on my ass.
Invaders must die
Knowing what I do about those, I'm going to give PCLOS a shot.
Great, cos what the world needs is one more PCLOSer.
Squirrel!
With today's PCs, Gentoo compilations also fail much faster, so you can tear your hair out sooner. I suppose that's progress...
