A Look at PCLinuxOS
,----[ Quote ]
| The installation went very smoothly. I chose to set up an 8 GB partition for
| PCLinuxOS. The wizard shrunk my Windows data partition which I had as D:
| drive (it let me choose between my C: and my D: drives). Then, it created and
| formatted the newly-freed space to be my new Linux partition.
|
| I was also able to choose which of the Linux boot manager programs I wanted
| to use — GRUB or LILO. I chose LILO, since I've had more experience with it.
|
| Now, when I boot my computer, the first thing that comes up is the LILO boot
| menu, which lets me choose between booting PCLinuxOS and booting Windows XP
| Professional.

|
| PCLinuxOS was amazing and blazing running from memory on my notebook (a
| three-year-old 1.7GHz Pentium M). After using it for a couple hours, I took
| the plunge...
