After two years, the relatively popular PCLinuxOS distribution has finally put out a new major release, imaginatively called PCLinuxOS 2009.1. PCLinuxOS is a release originally based on Mandrake (now Mandriva), but which has taken on a life of its own. The distribution has one selling point (for some, at least) few other popular distributions have: it eschews KDE4 (for now).

I am running this laptop on Mandriva 2009.1, with KDE4.2.1, it still does not feel right.
I feel like it is about to cirl up and die, it is a little slugish, and it looks very garish.
It is nothing to do with learning new things as one poster said, in fact, if I was like that, I would not be using Linux in the first place, I would still be using Windows lol.
I am sitting here testing a desktop environment at 23:15 on a Friday night, in fact a Friday night when my wages are in my bank account.... How sad is that ?
I should be down the pub supping beer and perving women.
