Post First Look at PCLinuxOS 2008

PCLinuxOS is a Linux distribution originally based on Mandriva (Mandrake) and it’s distributed as a LiveCD. As it evolved, PCLinuxOS took advantage of tools, patches and bug fixes from other distributions as well, such as Gentoo, OpenSuse, Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu. It has the Control Center and install tool from Mandriva, the RPM package system from Fedora, the apt-get and Synaptic package managers from Debian/Ubuntu. I think it’s safe to say that PCLinuxOS is a combination of the best parts from popular distributions, making it sort of ‘the best of the best’. Or at least that’s what it tries to be.
