PCLINUX OS

PC linux os is an open source linux operating system. And I have to say its cool enough or as they say " cool ice cubes are jealous''.

Pc linux os is based on mandrake linux 9.2 in 2003 and again use the codes of mandriva in 2006 since then it has become a beast of its own. The idea behind pclinux is simple nonarrogant experience.

PCLOS is offered in KDE, XFCE and LXDE environments. It is also avilable in so called FULL MONTY DESKTOP it has basically KDE with different customised desktop for genral, office, multimedia, settings.

PCLOS is a rolling release means just install it once and update it you will get latest software and need not to worry to reinstall in every 6 months or so. Now package managment is done through rpm and on GUI side there is synaptic package manager, in my opinion synaptic is ok but there should be something like ubuntu software center or so. The packages is not bleeding edge but decently new. One of the great thing of PCLOS is the control centre it looks great and you can find every setting easily.

The experience with PCLOS is good it works dandy but here and there it lags because its a heavier distribution and includes every drivers and codecs the fully monty edition is fantastic to use for windows refugees.

so definately give PCLOS a try especially if you are looking for something that is easy to use and looks modern and Cool B-)
