PCLinuxOS Review

Desktop Options and Integration
You chose from 2 desktops that available on PCLinuxOS

1. KDE
2. LXDE

"The first thing a user might notice is that, out of the box, PCLinuxOS is set up with both NVidia and ATI fglrx support built in. No matter which type of graphics card is on the machine, PCLinuxOS — with the LXDE desktop — should work great! With either Lubuntu or Knoppix (should anyone actually use Knoppix as a desktop distribution), it is likely that either proprietary or extra drivers will need to be installed to get the same working graphics as found in the out of the box experience of PCLinuxOS"

Package Management

PCLinuxOS is based on Mandriva, so it uses RPMs. I will admit that I've always been a fan of RPM and Yum for managing packages

Control Panels

Control panel you can see look like in left image, that was very simple and user friendly. For this relase PClinuxOS has lot of change and they think about user, to make their user easy to use
