Debunking Confusion in PCLinuxOS
Active readers of this blog know that I help out with
a little distribution called PCLinuxOS. I help out through my other
website mypclinuxos.com which is a community development website
where like minded individuals can gather together to develop add-ons, customizations, and other items to PCLinuxOS to
tailor it to what they want in a distro. It’s a great concept and one that has been gathering quite a bit of support
from the PCLinuxOS community.
This week, Distrowatch Weekly has redone their top 10 distributions and included PCLinuxOS inside of that top ten for the first time ever. In fact, when I began using PCLinuxOS, it was around 15th on the distrowatch charts. If you look at 2005 vs. 2006 charts, you’ll see that out of the top 15 distros tracked, PCLinuxOS was the largest gainer over the course of that year. I like to think that mypclinuxos (started Mar 27, 2006) had a lot to do with that...and I don’t ask for any recognition at all...but take great satisfaction in helping what I believe to be the premiere Linux distribution for new users gain ground.
As stated, Distrowatch Weekly named PCLinuxOS as one of the “Top Ten” distributions and I was very happy about this. What was less than stellar was some of the negative feedback that resulted from this announcement. I realize that much of the feedback is based on false assumptions, ignorance, and fanboism...but just the same, I found a couple of comments I’d like to respond to so that the correct information is available for everyone to see.

My Current Distro....
I've just installed Mandrake 10.1 Community...just to take it for a test drive. I'm coming off of testing Progeny Linux RC1 (very nice) and decided I wanted to take a look at what 1000+ people each day find so interesting (a stat supported by distrowatch.com). I'll probably post back within the week about what are some good and bad points about it...then I'll shuffle on to another distro. So far though, Mandrake has been the most eye pleasing distribution I've tried (installer anyways) with Progeny and Fedora Core 3's anaconda installer a very close second.
A quick look of the Mandrake desktop impressed me...simply due to the fact that it is the most well organized default KDE desktop I've ever seen in a distribution. It also has the custom Mandrake control panel which is very choice for controlling all your system settings such as network, file sharing, etc. So far so good. As previous, I'll get back to this one later...afterall, it is finals week and I've got some work cut out for me.
