PCLinuxOS 2010 Beta 1: A First Look

,----[ Quote ]
| NOT wishing to pass full judgement on a 
| distro until it has reached its final 
| release stage - it is not fair on the 
| developers - I nevertheless thought it 
| might be useful to offer some early, 'First 
| Look' observations about PCLinuxOS 2010.
| 
| [...]
| 
| PCLOS 2010 played my test audio CD in Kscd 
| without any issues but the Dragon media 
| player fell over twice when trying and 
| failing to play my commercial DVD movie; I 
| suspect this was probably linked to the 
| absence of the libdvdcss, though I must 
| admit to not yet having checked this out.
| 
| So, the early signs for PCLOS 2010 are very 
| good - menu issues aside - and I'm very 
| much looking forward to the full release.

PCLinuxOS 2010 beta - fantastic!

| Setting up my HP wireless printer/scanner
| was also painless, that took me days of
| bashing my head against the keyboard
| fighting with the hplip drivers in 11.2,
| where it wouldn't work if you selected the
| printer the software discovered, you had to
| enter the IP manually. Plus PCLOS set the
| scanner part up automatically, that has to
| be done seperately in 11.2.

PCLinuxOS 2010 mini review

,----[ Quote ]
| If you are looking for a Linux distro
| specialized for the common everyday desktop
| computer then PCLOS is the number one
| choice. Like the much advertised MacOSX,
| PCLOS is ready to do every fun stuff, like
| watch online videos, download files using
| torrents, do some photo editing make DVD
| slideshows etc., right after install. PCLOS
| 2010 is the first release featuring KDE 4 as
| default desktop. Despite using KDE 4, the
| PCLOS architects have managed to maintain
| the original and unique style of this great
| distro. Though KDE4 series is radically
| different from KDE 3, an average Joe user
| who installs PCLOS 2010 wouldn't be able to
| tell the difference. I think this would
| greatly help in KDE 4 adoption among more
| and more people. I am looking forward for
| the final release to install on my ASUS Nova
| lite mini desktop at home which is currently
| running PCLOS 2009.

PCLinuxOS 2010 Beta 1

,----[ Quote ]
| I have been looking at PCLinuxOS 2010 Beta 1
| because I like the rolling release concept
| and PCLinuxOS does keep things rolling. I
| have the beta installed on a system with an
| NVidea GeForce 220 GT and an HP HDMI 25"
| wide screen flat panel display, this
| combination is very problematic for most
| distribution but has no issues of any kind
| in the beta. Plymouth is installed by
| default, it does not currently work from the
| Live CD but works fine in the installed
| system. Plymouth will work on the Live CD
| for the final release and this was presented
| as a known issue. The Plymouth issue is
| minor and it gave me the opportunity to see
| that there were no errors at start up.
