For some reason, my / partition was running out of space (400Mb out of a 12Gb partition), so I took 20Gb out of my Windows partition, and reinstalled PCLinuxOS.

This was the smoothest installation of any OS I've ever done.

TV tuner? Working. Sound? Working (although I had to reconfigure Clementine sound settings), Network? Working? LibreOffice? Installed without a hitch. All my partitions? Detected and either mounted or readily available. Kernel? Installed a PAE+BFS that works like lightning and sees my 8Gb of ram. Themes? Plenty to choose from! Monitor resolution? Detected and setup.

I even learned that if I don't automount my NTFS partitions (there are two of them), boot times improve by a lot! I'm getting to login screen in 20-25 seconds.

Updates took a while though, but that's a good thing since that means the developers work really hard to bring updates. Guys, it shows. The only thing I had to do manually was to activate hardware acceleration of my Radeon, and active the plasma effects.

God, you gotta love this OS!
