I installed pcqlinux2005 yesterday ,

It looks nice and has a good color scheme - customised by pcq, many of the references to fedora core 3 havve been removed and pcq linux put in its place.

It looks like the pcq team didnot spend too much time on rmeoving all the fedora references or felt it was a pointless exercise. So its more of a customised FC# rather than a totally new distro.

On a good point, most of the software they have added such as j2sdk, acrobat reader, video and audio tools are useful to have.

On a bad note most of the fedora core bugs are still there too. Such as udev interfering with the nvidia driver module so that you cant load nvidia after you restart post install(of the nvidia binary driver). well i would have expected atleast this to be fixed.

RHGB also doens't work properly once the nvdia driver is installed.

I always felt that it should take more than two months to put out a linux distro. These are not toys, a lot of work is involved and buggy releases only make linux in general look bad.

Well i guess thats when i ran short of my patience and switched back to slack 10.1. its running the way i want it to and thats a lot of work guys.

I guess you could make any distro work as you want it to, but then its easiest for me on slackware.
