PCLinuxOS 2009.1 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| PCLinuxOS is a Linux distribution based on Mandriva Linux. The most recent
| update, and the first since the last update in 2007, was released last week.
| This review will be the very first review of PCLinuxOS on this site.
|
| [...]
|
| What we like about PCLinuxOS Using PCLinuxOS is like using Mandriva Linux
| Powerpack without paying for it. The main thing missing is that LVM
| configuration is not supported. Also disk encryption is limited.
|
| What needs to improve Not a whole lot, but there are key features I think
| should be supported especially when those features are supported on Mandriva,
| its parent distro. Here’s a short list:
|
| * A regular release schedule. PCLinuxOS 2009.1 is the first release since
| 2007. That wont cut it in the free software operating system arena.
| * LVM configuration. Contrary to the opinions of a few mis-informed
| people, Linux Logical Volume Manager is important, even on the desktop.
| * The firewall must be enabled by default. There is no good reason to
| disable the firewall on a networked computer.
| * During the installation and just before the packages are installed,
| give users one last opportunity to tweak their settings. That the way it
| is on Mandriva.

After two years, a new PCLinuxOS ships!

| Two years after its last major release, the interesting PCLinuxOS project has
| quietly posted a major new release. The "pclinuxos-2009.1" download features
| a 2.6.28.8.tex3 kernel, KDE 3.5.10, and a host of other updates. It is
| currently difficult to get, however, possibly due to high demand.
