PCLOS Review on ZDNet
« on: February 11, 2013, 11:35:10 AM »
Not too shabby...  Still complains of no 64 bit iso.

PCLinuxOS is an "old standard" Linux distribution. Although it doesn't seem to have been getting as much attention recently it still seems to have a significant number of very loyal followers. 

The strength of PCLinuxOS today is in stability, and a very active and dedicated user community.

good review

he is right, quarterly updates are not being made each quarter, maybe just call them iso updates?

I think the entire review could have been summed up in this one statement.  

The strength of PCLinuxOS today is in stability, and a very active and dedicated user community.

One statement, about what really makes PCLinuxOS work.

One statement,, only "hinting" at the main ingredient.

This distro remains strong, not because of it's stability.

Is it stable?  Sure it's stable but, It remains strong solely because of us.    

Never, is enough credit given to the community.

If anyone wishes to write a real review of PCLinuxOS. That person should devote the entire article to us,, the PCLinuxOS community.


I think I still have .02 left! LOL

I will agree with Rudge but I would like to add one more advantage: the rolling nature of the distro.
I don't why the author writes: "PCLinuxOS is supposed to be a "rolling release", with continuous updates and quarterly roll-ups into fresh ISO images to make scratch installation easier."

Those three things are mainly the reason I fell in love with PCLinuxOS :)

I try other distros occasionally, mostly out of curiosity, but I wouldn't change PCLinuxOS for anything else out there...
