Review: PCLinuxOS 2007 Test 3
After a number of recommendations from readers on my SimplyMEPIS 6.5 RC1 review, I decided to make my next Linux distribution review about PCLinuxOS 2007 Test 3. Like SimplyMEPIS, it is an up-and-coming distribution that aims to make all the advanced capabilities of Linux easily available to everyone.
About PCLinuxOS
This live CD based distribution uses RPM for its package format and Synaptic as its package manager. You can also use apt-get with it as well. It uses KDE and aims to be a simple to use distribution with a flashy desktop. Their website states that it is developed by a small but dedicated team of developers to deliver a desktop-ready open source OS.
PCLinuxOS also has a large community following judging from their forums and also the number of recommendations it received on my MEPIS review.
Booting it up
The boot screen is pretty nice, and offers a wide range of options to suit your system.
