PCLinuxOS 2009 Goes Gold

Posted by samzenpus on from the a-hearty-handshake dept.

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."

    I get full speed from the KDE link. YMMV.

    ...said the download was slow and that KDE-3.5.10 was the desktop. I corrected both misstatements in my post. I did not recommend PCLinuxOS. I said I was downloading the Gnome version...to test it out.

    If you want to check out PCLinuxOS and want a fast link, my post should be of value.

    If you know you won't like it or don't need it, don't download it from my fast link.
