Bottom line:

A nice, easy-to-install, easy-to-configure, and easy-to-use distro, particularly for someone who's used to SUSE or Fedora Core, but wants something smaller and quicker. Given its performance vs. that of Mandriva, I'd have to say it's "a better Mandriva than Mandriva." I didn't spend the time to locate alternative desktop background images to the "lovely" default desktop scenery, but I'm sure they're readily available. My compliments to the PCLinuxOS team!

As a former Windows user, I know that it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the volume of available distributions. Often, to help decipher the lingo and choose a capable distribution, those new to the community seek guidance from existing users. Sometimes, this can lead to a really positive result, as another Windows user joins the Linux community.

Gryphen is heading up a new project for PCLinuxOS. This is an effort by our community to bring an overall 'complete' feel to the default desktop. Since the default desktop is KDE, that's where most of the initial efforts will be concentrated. Eventually we'll also work on the Gnome and Fluxbox desktops as well as work on artwork for the MythEdition and EduPCLOS editions.

Here is an initial list of the areas that will need work:

Official Logo

Color scheme, Windeco, Style, Font, Icons, Wallpaper, KDM, Login Screen, Splash Screen, Superkaramba, Boot splash, Lilo, Grub, Fluxbox, Gnome.

Please feel free to make comments, suggestions, and constructive criticisms.

It is my privilege to announce on behalf of the team members of the PCLinuxOS Magazine Project sponsored by MyPCLinuxOS.com , the October 2006 issue is available for download! We've put a lot of effort into producing a quality magazine made for the community, by the community. This is our second issue that has been produced by our project team. The previous September issue can also be downloaded

Contained inside are many articles written for the PCLinuxOS community and a few for those interested but not yet using it. With this issue, we've decided to focus on Children and Linux. Some highlights include:

1. How-To's on multibooting and web page construction
2. Many looks at different distros for Children
3. Two articles written by young PCLinuxOS Users on their experience
4. Trips down memory lane with articles on Old Computers
5. Much, Much more!

Again based on PCLinuxOS software and XFce 4.3.90.2, SAM offers you a complete desktop environment for your older hardware. With more than 1000 packages itīs nearly a hundred smaller than the previous version, but now the complete OpenOffice.org 2.0.3 is back on the LiveCD with full support for english and german languages.

Our public file host ibiblio.org servers are now racked and either up or in the process of post-move repair. This was been a huge undertaking. They are still reassembling ibiblio one piece at a time, but are making steady progress. Additional intermittent downtime can be expected over the next few days.
