Review: PC/OS 2009v2a
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, I loved PC/OS. At first I wasn't sure what to think of it, and
| really was somewhat underwhelmed to say the least. But the more I got to
| playing with it, the more it grew on me. After a while I found that I was
| rather impressed with all it offered and did.

Linux Distro Test - PC/OS 2009v2a
,----[ Quote ]
| 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.

PC/OS 10, Open64 and more
,----[ Quote ]
| We are hard at work for PC/OS 10, Open64 and PC/OpenSuite for Windows. There
| are no delays expected with PC/OpenSuite for Windows scheduled for an April
| 15th release. So far testing is going great and we are even considering a
| theme to replace the default Windows theme with ine that shows the PC/OS
| logo. We are working with an updated GUI for PC/OS 10 and Open64. Will it
| be the final? probably, but probably not.

PC/OS: Insert CD, use desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| PC/OS aims to be an easy-to-use Linux distribution right out of the box.
| Being Ubuntu-based, it has a head start on being user-friendly, but PC/OS
| goes above and beyond Ubuntu's measures to ensure ease of use by having
| common third-party non-GPL software included in the install.

PC/OS 2009 OpenWorkstation Review
,----[ Quote ]
| There are quite a few Linux distributions out there that are geared towards
| the novice Linux user, but everyone is created a bit differently, whether its
| the packages that they include by default or the distribution as its base
| Linux can be configured to suit anyone's needs.
|
| [...]
|
| If for some reason you want to say use a Windows software program in PC/OS,
| Wine is available. Wine is a program that lets you install a variety of
| Windows applications on your Linux machine without the need of having a
| Windows installation. As stated some programs work better than others so you
| would have to head on over to Wine's website for a list of supported
| applications. It is nice to see Wine included by default as installation
| might be cumbersome to a novice.
