in [Freeware]

From: humphry on 26 Aug 2006 13:20 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)... But this is history. PClinuxOS is here......! http://www.pclinuxos.com/ -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

Also tried a lot of distro's, and until now only mandriva worked fine (so wondering why installation of pclinuxOS don't work). -- A lawyer is a person who writes a 10,000 words documents and calls it a "brief".

I can't testify it to it personally, but reports are that this distro has hands down the best wireless support out there, making it ideal for laptops. I normally prefer Debian-based distros, but I make a big exception in this case. Highly recommended. -- Mark Warner SimplyMEPIS 6.0 Registered Linux User #415318 ....lose .inhibitions when replying

Try the new Freespire. It's the freeware version of Linspire. I put it on one of my computers, and it is very easy to use. The transition from Windows to Freespire is absolutely painless, as far as the gui is concerned.
