There is a 5th dimension,beyond that which is known to man.It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity,between science& superstition,& it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge.This is the dimension of imagination.It is an area which we call PCLINUXOS!

"PCLinuxOS is a pretty unique Linux distribution for people who are fairly knowledgeable about Linux. Therefore, it isn’t quite a distribution which I can recommend for new users, but it’s great for Linux users who want to try new combinations."

Say what ???   "a distro that is good for those fairly knowledgeable about Linux " What has he been smoking ???  "it isn’t quite a distribution which I can recommend for new users"   Perhaps what ever he smoked interfered with his brain function!  If my 7 year old nephew can use it, why would it be so hard for a new user.

" PCLinuxOS ISO images include a boatload of software for you to use, right out of the box. If you can think of it, it’s probably already included."   If this isn't a good reason for a new user to try PCLinuxOS, what is?


This guy couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if he were standing next to it.  Please do tell me which Distros do not mix and match software to some extent? I don't think much of anything he had to say. If he really had a legit bitch about the software, I could understand, but he really never mentioned them.  The only true bitch I even seen was this "When I looked at the HTTP mirrors, some of them were hosting ISO images from December 2010."  but then again if he would of looked at mine he would of found iso's going back to preview4

A wife told her husband to whisper dirty things into her ear.

The man then replied, "The kitchen, the living room,
the bathroom, and the dining room."

Then there was a fight!
