Linux Distro Test - PC/OS 2009v2a
Install/Live Test
Time to Boot/Install:
Time to boot LiveCD: 55 seconds, Time to install: appox. 25 minutes, Time to HD boot: appox 45 seconds
This is a very strange boot. It seemed to lag in the middle, but it did finish booting with a very nice desktop in the end. I like the way the menu is set up; lately, I've found that you have to drill down quite a ways for the menu items in some other XFCE distros, while this one seems to be clean, quick and better organized.
Network (router/modem/wireless)
Wifi:Linksys WRT54G router
Nic:Linksys WMP54G PCI adapter (Intel onboard ethernet disabled in BIOS)
Modem:N/A
I was suprized that my wireless didn't come up at first. Being that this distro is based on Ubuntu, however, a left click on the network icon showed all the routers in my area, including mine. Choosing my router connected me without any issues.
