Install/Live CD
PCLinuxOS allows you to boot directly from the CD and test for hardware compatibility before committing the distribution to your hard drive. You will know right away if PCLinuxOS works with your hardware. This also gives you the ability to run PCLinuxOS from the CD to get comfortable with Linux before considering replacing your existing operating system or setting your computer up in a dual boot mode.
Safe, Secure, and Stable
PCLinuxOS provides the best of breed open source applications where source code is always under peer review.
Software Updates
After installing PCLinuxOS GNOME to your computer, you can access more than 7000 additional programs and libraries from the PCLinuxOS free software repository. Synaptic Package Manager provides a single front end for installing, updating, and removing software from your PCLinuxOS system. Updating your system is easy as: 1) Reload file list; 2) Mark all updates; 3) Click apply. It doesn't get any easier than this!
Remaster PCLinuxOS
The mklivecd script allows users to take a 'snapshot' of their current hard drive installation (all settings, applications, documents, etc.) and compress it into an ISO CD/DVD image. This allows easy backup of a user's data and also makes it easy to create your own custom live CD/DVD.
