*applause* really loving pclos + forum help stuff

Really happy and it's thanks to you lot!

Rescued an old computer for my kids (4 + 7) to play on. After failing to get a bunch of other OSs to work (it was previously an Acer Aspire machine with Vista on it but needed new HDD) I bought a Linux magazine and although the headline distro on the disc failed to get X running, PCLOS worked like a charm.

Stuck in an old wireless card, which would have to be a Texas Instruments ACX111 wouldn't it - but your GUI to ndiswrapper was a breeze.

Really love the livecd install and was gratified to read about mylivecd, once I'd spotted the news update about Synaptic I updated the lists, getting me draklive-install to make mylivecd work, and now not only do I have the machine configured for my daughter to play moshimonsters, I know that if I goof up the machine I can reinstall from the .iso

Lovely looking distro, very happy with this so - if you are reading this and have done any work on PCLOS, pat yourself on the back, it's very good indeed!!

dadaist, welcome to the forum! I liked your testimonial, PCLinuxOS has the best hardware support I have ever seen.
