From: Snonck on 26 Aug 2006 21:07 Can you position the task bar on the right hand side of the screen? I prefer to have it on the right hand size as it allows more room for browsing as usually web sites are designed for 1024 or 800 pixel width while most flat screens are 1280 across. humphry wrote: > I installed the latest PCLinuxOS 0.93a Bigdaddy (or full Monty) and I was > pleasantly surprised, > > Better than ubuntu, suse, mandriva and all the other distros {I am talking > about desktop use not server}(and yes I have tried 90% of whats out there > and 100% of the major distros). > > Everything just worked... and it was beautiful, even windows media played > from out of the box with > an included player. > > Things working in linux and beauty are things that linux lacked (without > geeking around for several hours)...
