PCLinuxOS 2010 KDE 4.4.1 Beta 2
,----[ Quote ]
| Saw a notice that the subject's beta 2 for
| their first KDE 4.4.x release was
| available. Downloaded, burned and booted
| it.
|
| First impression: I saw HAL leave a note
| on the screen about detecting my Intel GM45
| chip, setting up its parameters, and
| configuring the AGP aperture. The result
| was that when KDE 4.4.1 came it it was
| lightening fast. Installed Stellarium and
| got 50-60 fps, which is unprecedented for
| this GM45 chip in any version of Kubuntu,
| Mandriva, or several other LiveCDs I've
| tried in the last year and a half. The
| best Lucid gives me in Stellarium is about
| half, 25-40 fps. Turning on Desktop
| effects had NO noticeable slowdown in
| PCLOS. In Kubuntu it drops my fps to 10-15
| fps. Kubuntu's 3D gives me an occasional
| tearing over the bottom panel. PCLOS's 3D
| is rock solid stable.

Planning a move to PCLinuxOS 2010

| But, all in all, it's a sour-sweet thing,
| because my current 2009 installation is
| absolutely solid, stable, and fast.
| Everything works as it should, and when
| rebasing a Linux distribution there's
| always the chance of a rough start. I trust
| Texstar and his team, but something could
| slip through the cracks. So I'll be on the
| safe side and wait a few weeks before
| reinstalling everything.

PCLinuxOS delivers where others failed
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the reasons why I said PCLinuxOS is
| "A real distro-hopper-stopper is its
| ability to auto detect your devices. I have
| read elsewhere that mostly, only branded
| tvturner cards can work with linux. To my
| surprise, this is not the case with tvtime,
| the native tvturner software in PCLinuxOS
| and I guess it is available out-of-the-box
| on every versions of PCLOS (excellent job
| guys!).
|
| This software (tvtime) is so easy to use.
| Just right click on it and a menu will pop
| out for you to select a task. To get your
| tvturner working, simply click on "channel
| management" then "scan for signal" and
| start watching your favorite tv show!

A real distro-hopper-stopper
,----[ Quote ]
| Above is the screenshot of the new
| PCLinuxOS with LXDE as native desktop
| environment. This baby is still in beta
| stage but compared to its predecessor, this
| version is almost complete. Having Firefox
| 3.6 with built-in flash as browser -
| watching videos via youtube and the likes
| is a breeze out-of-the-box.
