		PCLinuxOS, often abbreviated as PCLOS, is a GNU/Linux distribution.
		PCLinuxOS is distributed as a LiveCD, and can also be installed to a local hard drive.
		PCLinuxOS places specific emphasis on desktop computing in homes and small businesses, paying less attention to other more "traditional" uses, like servers (although packages for most server tasks are available).

	PCLinuxOS: Welcome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		PCLinuxOS allows you to boot directly from the CD and test for hardware compatibility before committing the distribution to your hard drive.
		PCLinuxOS provides the best of breed opensource applications where source code is always under peer review.

	Lobby4Linux - wfsection-A subjective look at PCLinuxOS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In fact, the poster I speak of above insisted that PCLinuxOS was inferior because it was “forked” from Mandrake and because it is an RPM-based distro, it was unreliable due to dependency hell.
		PCLinuxOS uses the Synaptic/apt system of package management and is not only fall-out-of-bed easy, there are no dependency problems we have encountered.
		Those who received PCLinuxOS on their computers are not only happy with the ease of it, but the aesthetics as well.

	Review: PCLinuxOS (PCLOS) 2007 Final - Linux - Articles - ThePCSpy.com
		PCLinuxOS is a distribution that I've only really flirted with before, giving the last few test releases a quick look in and seeing how things were coming along.
		PCLinuxOS 2007 is built on and includes: kernel 2.6.18.8, KDE 3.5.6, Open Office 2.2.0, Firefox 2.0.0.3, Thunderbird 2.0, Frostwire, Ktorrent, Amarok, Flash, Java JRE, Beryl 3D, a whole bunch of codecs and a lot more.
		PCLinuxOS might be smaller than Ubuntu in audience, but Texstar and the ripper gang also seem to be more responsive in getting the newest softs out there for the community.

	All about Linux: PCLinuxOS - A distribution tailor made for New Linux Users (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		PCLinuxOS is released as a live CD which also can be installed quite easily on to the hard disk.
		PCLinuxOS is unique because the developers have paid great attention and have taken extra efforts to see that it meets the needs of a wide cross section of Linux users.
		PCLinuxOS has still not been taken out of beta (Though after trying out this OS, I am convinced that it is very robust and definitely not beta).

	Yet another Linux distro: PCLinuxOS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		PCLinuxOS is based on Mandrake; Texstar, the author, in fact used to build RPMs for Mandrakesoft.
		PCLinuxOS detected most of my hardware flawlessly, the only glitch being my Dell 2001FP LCD monitor, which it did not set up, instead defaulting to a generic monitor setting at 1024x768 resolution.
		PCLinuxOS has a very nicely crafted set of default icons and a very organized set of menus.

	:: Reviews : Introducing PCLinuxOS 2K4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		PCLinuxOS (as of this writing is currently at version 2K4 Preview 4) is based upon the Mandrake Linux 9.2 distro (currently kernel 2.4.22) and, despite my thoughts on Mandrake, is one of the best live CDs I have ever used.
		To tell you the truth I don't remember exactly what I was doing at the time, but I think I was toying with the latest Mandrake release to see if any improvements had been made since the 9.1 release and ended up in Texstar's RPM repository on ibiblio.org.
		At first glance at the PCLinuxOS web site, one might think that support for this distro is non-existent.

	NewsForge \| Creating a custom Linux LiveCD With PCLinuxOS

		Finally, PCLinuxOS comes on a single CD and offers only a small set of programs by default, which makes it less time-consuming to remove unwanted software packages.
		PCLinuxOS requires two partitions: one for the swap file (swap partition) and one for the system itself (root partition).

	TUX 2005 Readers' Choice Award Winners Announced \| TUX
		I have been around PCLinuxos long enough to know that Sal is not ignorant, is not a noise maker, and is probably one of the most helpful people that I have come across on my journey into using Linux.
		She gave PCLinuxOS (then in version 0.81) 10/10, Mepis 8/10, Mandrake 6/10, and you really don't want to know what she said about Fedora and Ubuntu, even though she preferred the look of the Gnome desktop, she couldn't get them to do the things she wanted from her computer.
		It could always be that PCLinuxOS is one of the distros that has fully harnessed the synergy between HAL, DBUS, UDEV and KDE3.4, so that plugging in USB drives, inserting CDs, and so on, is no longer fraught with the problems of manual mounting, or with the write-behind problems that used to plague auto-mounting systems.

		PCLinuxOS, a start-up KDE engineered distribution, has recently released their v0.92 Test 3 build that contains an updated Unionfs stable version as well as fixes largely when it comes to the livecd-installer.
		Bundled with PCLinuxOS v0.92 is everything from the LimeWire P2P application to a scientific calculator.
		Even though PCLinuxOS hasn't yet gained much momentum from the desktop Linux community, its intentions are definitely in the right direction and we look forward to seeing how this distribution "shapes up" after passing its development stages.

		I haven't paid too much attention to PCLinuxOS in the past, and it turns out I was quite remiss in not doing so.

		The process of creating your own PCLinuxOS-based Live CD (also known as remastering) consists of three major steps: 1) installing the system on your computer, 2) customising the installed system by tweaking its settings and installing/removing software packages, 3) creating an ISO image.
		Start with downloading the most recent release of PCLinuxOS from one of the mirrors listed on its website.

	LXer: PCLinuxOs Review
		What is PCLinuxOs: PCLinusOs version p9 is hard to describe, it resembles Mandrake, Knoppix and Debian, the developers seem to have used the best that these operating systems have to offer and then mixed it with their own very special talents.
		The fact that this distribution has live CD functionality gives you portability, this is an extremely useful feature as it grants you the ability to basically take what you are used to, your home computer, with you wherever you go.
		PCLinuxOs is one of the best thought out operating systems available and the custom artwork is outstanding.

	A picture heavy review of PCLinuxOS 2007 Beta2 - Seopher.com
		As I covered yesterday, PCLinuxOS 2007 Beta2 has been released to the public and I've had a chance to play with it and I think it's fair to make the conclusion that this is a distro worth keeping an eye on.
		I’m new to Linux and I founded PCLinuxOS and SimpleMepis and Xandros very easy to use, I tried Ubunto several times and is difficult to install programs, sometimes the programs are not even compatible.
		With PclinuxOs simple all software works, I don’t need to go around loooking for codecs, Same with Mepis, with Xandros it takes a litlle bit of effort to find some codecs, but with Ubunto it’s a nightmare, at least for me. So I think PcLinuxOs is the way.
