Mandriva is another one of the Linux distributions that has been around for quite some time. This installation will be accomplished with the help of the Live CD. Once you are up and running you will see the Install icon on the desktop. Double click that icon to begin the installation.

In the days when Ubuntu 9.10, Mandriva 2010 and openSUSE 11.2 are having their releases, installing PCLinuxOS 2009.2 seems like taking a step backwards. But how could I refuse to try what I had considered to be my favourite Linux distro?

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?

As one might expect from PCLinuxOS, the LiveCD allows an easy HD install and within a matter of minutes, you have PCLinux2009.1 running.

I will be installing PCLinux 2009 on one of my computers but I'm going to have to test it more to see if it deserves a space on the hard drive. Since I also use Mac OS X Leopard every once in a while, I decided to install PCLOS 2009 as guest operating system using Parallels Desktop to find out just how well it runs.

Not too long ago PCLinuxOS released two versions of the PCLOS 2009 distribution. One uses KDE 3.5, the Other uses Gnome 2.24.3. So, I was faced with a decision. Which would I choose?

Mandriva one of the leading distro provider has finally released their last testing version for their upcoming spanking distro named 2009.1 Spring ... 2009.1 tries mend the flaws that 2009.0 came with.. 2009.1 brings the latest technology from the Linux world, featuring the cutting edge softwares and tools to enchant audience with a soothing experience...

The NEW PCLinuxOS Magazine staff is pleased to announce the release of the December 2009 issue of the PCLinuxOS Magazine. In the December 2009 issue: 2009 Holiday Gift & Stocking Stuffer Guide, Game Zone: Quake III Arena Linux Client, and Command Line Interface Intro: Part 3.

Previously , you can create desktop icon in Ubuntu by using "Create Launcher" option which was available when we right-click on desktop . But now in current versions like Ubuntu 11.04/11/.10 you cannot create desktop icon in that same manner . In Ubuntu 11.04/ Ubuntu 11.10 , you have to install package to create desktop icon .
