[Dark Star]

http://www.imgx.org/pfiles/4234/pclinuxos-logo.pngPCLinuxOS is an English only Live CD initially based on Mandrake Linux that runs entirely from a bootable CD. Data on the CD is decompressed on the fly, allowing up to 2GB of programs on one CD, including a complete X server, KDE desktop, OpenOffice.org and many more applications all ready to use. In addition to the Live CD, you can also install PCLinuxOS to your hard drive with an easy-to-use Live CD Installer. Additional applications can be added or removed from your hard drive using a friendly apt-get front end via Synaptic Package Manager.

Thanks for info, Mr.OSS Reporter :)

But somethings that need to worked upon:

1) Old kernel
2) Horrible default wallpaper!

^^yeah horrible wallpaper.
I dont know why some Linux distro guys want to make it look like vista. Why cant they comeup with something of their own just like Ubuntu(never tries to imitate windows and It Rocks).

And Vista sucks anyway. I still love XP on my desktop and Ubuntu on Laptop.

thanks for info
KDE4 is much better than this

[coolpcguy]

thanks for info
KDE4 is much better than this

You mean KDE4.0. Dont get confused between KDE4 and KDE4.0. KDE4.0 is the first release of the KDE4 framework/.
And how can you compare a Desktop environment(KDE4.0) with a an OS ? :confused:

BAck to topic, yeah, c'mon why, why,why why oh why that damn wallpaper. Just have a look at KDE-Look (http://www.kde-look.org) or GNOME-Look (http://www.gnome-look.org) and can get tons of excellent wallpapers.
