Jumping ship: PCLinuxOS 2007 vs. Mint 3.0 "Cassandra"
,----[ Quote ]
| Arguably two of the best are PCLinuxOS and Mint. I reviewed PCLinuxOS a while
| back, but it has matured incredibly in only a single release. Among other
| things, its rank on DistroWatch soared from just barely being in the Top 10
| to clinching the #1 spot- and not letting go. Mint isn't so well-known. It's
| a fork of Ubuntu with a few added programs (such as a custom control center),
| new artwork, and a redesigned app selection.

PCLinuxOS: Linux Distribution

| One notable difference from Mandriva is the program used to install
| extra software. We found this much easier to use and includes useful
| software such as graphics drivers.
|
| Unlike some other distributions, PCLinuxOS can play back
| proprietary multimedia files (including wma, mp3, mpg, rm,
| mov) without having to install extra software. DVD playback
| software is not included but can be installed with the
| standard installation tool.

Review: PcLinuxOS 2007

| While PcLinuxOS does still have a bit of growing to do, out of all the
| linux distributions out there, I'd easily rate this one as the best in
| every way because of all that it does, how easy it is to use, how ready
| it is to use out of the box, and most especially in the area of
| appeasing both camps, the new user and the experienced user.

PClinuxOS 2007.0 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| I am a Kubuntu user since version 6.06. However, that hasn't made
| me blindly consider (k)ubuntu to be the best linux distro; I am
| always open to newcomers. In recent days, PClinuxOS 2007.0 was
| released, and quickly hit the top of of the distrowatch charts.
| I decided to download it and give this relatively new distribution
| a text run on my Acer Aspire 5050 laptop, nicknamed the geebee.

| Overall I’d give Linux Mint very high marks. While it doesn’t get everything
| right, it does do the vast majority of things right. It looks good, runs
| good, and boots fast.

Test Driving Linux Mint Cassandra
,----[ Quote ]
| All in all, the system looks very good, I like the new artwork, it's
| fast, it includes almost everything you'll ever need for your daily
| tasks and if you cannot find something you need, I suggest you to try
| the new Software Portal that Linux Mint created for FREE. I'm not a
| GNOME fan and all that, but Linux Mint makes this aspect disappear
| very fast and who knows, I may start to like the GNOME desktop after
| all. Give Linux Mint Cassandra a try and I bet it will be love at
| first sight.
