If you want to give your personal computer a new taste of a safe, secure, efficient, and cost effective operating system, then one of your best choices would be PCLinuxOS.
Sometimes being shortened as PCLOS, the PCLinuxOS is one of those Linux operating systems that have no mix of being a server operating system.
It is specifically designed by Bill Reynolds in 2003 to work as a personal computer operating system, thus, users will find this OS less confusing than others, even when compared to Ubuntu or Red Hat.
As an operating system that is designed to work for personal computers, PCLinuxOS also has the functionality that almost all other operating systems from all manufacturers have, the Graphic User Interface of GUI. However, what sets this operating system apart from all other operating systems and even from those that were based from Linux is that its focus is more on the becoming a “powerful” operating system rather than in being a “straight-forward” one. PCLinuxOS is designed to be more of the function type of operating system and is also designed with a higher level of technical, in contrast to aesthetic, sophistication. However, this doesn’t mean that the desktop that you will find after installing or trying out PCLinuxOS is rather displeasing. In fact, the desktop that is being showcased in this operating system has a much better format that those that were also released last 2003 and even today. It also displays the password and username for both root users and guest users if you are still trying out the PCLinuxOS. This is something that has almost never been done in any operating software, including those that were from Linux.
How then, are you supposed to try PCLinuxOS? Do you have to install to your computer just in order to try it out?
What if you did not like it?
Then do you have to uninstall it again and re-install your previous operating software?
Thanks, but no thanks to that, if trying this software would be that much of a trouble. Of course not, PCLOS comes through a LiveCD which means that you can try this operating software out even without installing any single component of this OS into your computer. All you have to do it download it from their site.
