I have a pretty old system at home. An AMD 2500+ Sempron with 512 mb RAM.

I tested both Ubuntu 7.10 and PCLinuxOS 2007 in it. There were mixed results.

PCLOS 2007 worked quite fast but Ubuntu Gutsy was very slow. Logic would make me use PCLOS but I opted for Ubuntu which has got wonderful APTonCD. I do not have internet connection at home, so it made perfect sense to get the latest packages from office pc via aptoncd and update my home pc.

Here my only worry is the slowness of my home pc under Ubuntu..
Dont we have anything remotely like AptonCD in PCLOS???
This way I'll have the best of both worlds...snappy OS and latest packages !
