'New PCLinuxOS 2007 Looks Great, Works Well'

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 23rd May 2007 09:01 UTC

"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."

A bit of a fanboy review that.

One of the most impressive things about PCLinuxOS is that it works brilliantly when it is installed onto a USB stick.

The author either ignored this, or did not know how well it works.

Just install it onto a USB stick, then all your favourite apps are ready to work, no matter whos computer you get to use.

He did of course mention the way PCLinuxOS works with multimedia out of the box. That point alone is very impressive.

TBH multimedia has worked out of the box for every distro I've used thus far (and it's been quite a few).
Maybe I've just been lucky though.

I gather you haven't used Ubuntu or Red Hat lately, or if no not used a variety of multimedia files. Ubuntu at least is easy to fix, but it is hardly out of the box. Haven't checked the situation in Red Hat.
