I've read Links A, B, and C and I maintain separate partitions and machines expressly for testing purposes. I have limited my past testing exercises to those applications I feel comfortable with, but that may change as I gain proficiency.
I guess I'm supposed to add this to be legally correct:
I have read Links A, B and C and realize that being a tester has risks that I am solely responsible for, I accept this risk gladly and waive all liability from PCLinuxOS for any potential damage to data or information on the machine that is to upgraded to testing status
