ian1967,

A warm welcome to you, from New Zealand.

You have arrived at the right place here in this forum. Enjoy the distro.

Check out the monthly on-line PCLinuxOS magazine. Interesting information and hints are only an easy pdf download away.

You can take Jim's advice. There's lots of information and entertainment to be found in the magazine.

Have fun!

Welcome, ian1967!

We are glad you are here! You don't necessarily have to like KDE or LXDE with Xfce and e17 versions available as well...

Hi ian1967 - a big welcome to the forum, and can I say I think you've made a wise choice - PCLinuxOS is renowned for being the distro-hopper-stopper

Enjoy.

Welcome from Saskatchewan, Canada, ian1967.

I'm a Low-German person that got hooked on PCLinuxOS-kde a number of years ago.  Yes... I've tried a number of other Linus OS's too.  Even tried Free-BSD for a while.

But this distro, has got so many things going for it.

Welcome to the forum.  And when you have nothing technical to say.... join us person's in the sandbox...:-)
One of the few things I've learnt as growing older.  Is to choose your battles.. but never loose sight of the war..!

Hello, and welcome home, ian1967!

Debian was/is the only what runs without any issues by me for a long time... I like it, only video driver installing was a pain  ;)

Glade you find the way to us...

Regards
Daniel
