PCLinuxOS 2007: It really is as good as the Hype!
Oh my. I may have found myself a new favorite distro.
I nearly overlooked this one because of my difficulties with PCLOS Minime 2008 on the flashdrive. I will say one thing about Minime: it does work and works well. I do like the look and feel of it and if I could get the package manager to work, I would be all over it.
I downloaded and burned the live CD of the 2007 version and must say that I really like it. The latest PCLinux 2007 is the Gnome version, but the default is the KDE version. If you don’t understand what I just wrote, don’t sweat it. I have always preferred the KDE but that’s just me.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

re: PCLOS 2007
Have they respun their ISO yet, or do you still need to download something like 9 bazillion megs worth of patches after a fresh install? (not as Jerry Seinfeld says: "there's anything wrong with that").
re: re: PCLOS 2007
No, they are still working on it as far as I can tell from posts and stuff. They put out a mini 2008, but you'd still need to download quite a bit of stuff to make it a full desktop (as most people think of a full desktop). I understand they are working on rolling kde 3.5.9 among other things and will release when ready. Some estimations have it as far off as May.
