PCLinuxOS 2009.1 was running beautifully. The installation from the live CD had retained the settings and I had completed all my usual post-install multimedia checks... So why, by all that's holy, did I think that switching on Compiz's 3D effects might be A Good Thing To Try?
“I am pleased to announce the younger sibling site, PCLinuxOS CN catering for Chinese users of PCLinuxOS.

It's been quite a while since the last update to PCLinuxOS back in 2007. While Ubuntu and other distros come out every 6 months, PCLinuxOS is considered a "rolling release distribution" that gets updated regularly as new stuff appears in the PCLinuxOS repository. So was it worth the wait?
