PCLinuxOS: Radically simple and a bit boring for geeks
Today I gave the new PCLinuxOS 2009.1 a spin and planned to write a review. The "Problem" with PCLinuxOS is: it actually is radically simple.
I downloaded the ISO9660 image, burned it on a CD and booted my Acer Aspire 7220. The proprietary nVIDIA driver was automatically loaded and to make a wireless connection with my accespoint, I opened the "networkcenter" and ran the wizzard, which franky only asked to enter the WPA2 key. I restarted X (by pressing Ctrl+ Alt+ Backspace) and the connection was established.
What a disapointment!
