Slackage Management, Baby!

| There are those who say that Slackware Linux 
| doesnât really have a package manager. BAH! I 
| say. It has two package management systems, 
| actually.

An afternoon in Tiny Core

,----[ Quote ]
| The developers of Tiny Core are clearly doing a 
| very good, innovative thing here. I've met 
| Robert Shingledecker at a couple of SCALE shows 
| in L.A., and I'm glad to see him working on 
| this project and being able to do it the way he 
| wants.

Spotlight on Linux: PCLinuxOS 2010

,----[ Quote ]
| Perhaps trumping all the technical aspects of
| this distro is a sense of ownership for its
| users. PCLinuxOS is one of the best examples
| of the "community distro." The small band of
| developers take suggestions and cues from
| their users very much to heart and even
| solicit opinions, artwork, and software
| requests. This is perhaps the key to PCLOS'
| success. It allows the community to feel not
| only involved, but important to development.
| They all can feel as though they contributed
| at least in some small way.

My successful PCLinuxOS 2010 Remaster

,----[ Quote ]
| PCLInuxOS 2010 has been released and is once
| again shinning at its best. Mylivecd is the
| new customized format of previous mklivecd
| and I wanted to give it a spin to make a
| remaster of my installed system. Though many
| report failure with remastering I managed to
| do it on my second attempt.

PCLinuxOS 2010 - Familiar taste of radical simplicity

,----[ Quote ]
| I find PCLinuxOS to be the big small
| distro. While it has a modest development
| team, the final product has always felt
| quite solid and polished, beyond the normal
| expectations of limited resources. What
| more, the distribution managed a fine
| balance between speed, usability,
| familiarity, and luring in new users, not
| an easy task.
|
| [...]
|
| By all standards and benchmarks, PCLinuxOS
| is a great success. It's a beautiful,
| polished, simple, easy to use distribution,
| with great performance and stability,
| especially on older machines, a well
| balanced array of programs, and no big
| problems at all. Subtle yet important
| improvements from previous versions are
| evident, with fewer wizard windows bugging
| you on your way into the live session or
| during the installation. Let's not forget
| old problems, which were solved in this
| release, a critical sign of progress.
