"PCLinuxOS is a live CD distribution that enables users to test Linux without actually having to install it. The highly anticipated new version, PCLinuxOS 2007, was released on Monday. Its intuitive selection of software, high level of stability and functionality, and the quality of the graphics make this the distribution's best release ever."

I've used PCLOS for the past two years on dozens of machines with hardware configurations all over the map. Nevertheless, the distro performed better than any other distro with regards to hardware recognition and ease of configuration. It's the easiest and most functional Linux distro hands down (in my opinion.) My only reason for not using it today is that it lacks an x86-64 bit port. You might want to try it again.

It's left a sour taste in my mouth since last time I tried it (can't remember the version, but wasn't long ago) I had all manner of problems on a few different machines.
Main one was booting, once installed I couldn't get the damn thing to boot even with one to one assistance from a PCLinuxOS guru. Something to do with SATA drives, never managed fixed the problem even with the help and never went back. Ended up knee deep in config files, which I wasn't up for at all
I hope it's better now, might try it again.
