QUOTE(OvenBaked @ Aug 13 2015, 03:07 PM) it is good but my only experience with it was before they had USB versions only mini cd versions so i couldn't save anything even the settings but i think they fixed that with usb versions nowadays.used to use it as a very light os to boot up to do recovery |

QUOTE(zenix @ Aug 6 2015, 09:05 AM) it was a good thing too as the current crop of easy to use nix all took a page out of ubuntu's book when it comes to user friendliness. I was the odd one out who gave PCLOS a shot 8 years ago. Ubuntu is a good distro even better when combined for education like Edubuntu. Anywhere, there is no one OS which is the greatest. Both sides of the coin, propriety vs foss serve different requirements. With the advent of service based solutions, cloud and mobile computing. The line is getting blurred.no more headache how to partition and setup your HDD the feeling was more what users were generally used to which was the windows installer. |

The line is getting blurred. i just tried PCLOS now and then on live cd, not too serious on it.i did like the layout as it was an easier transition for friends of mine whom i recommended it as they were windows users whom bought barebones acer/dell during those years where they reduce a few hundred bucks by giving PCDOS/Linux/NO OS.

Yea it's small and fast and close to CB (which is dead ) QUOTE(zenix @ Sep 3 2015, 09:12 AM) when you say compatible you mean hardware compatibility, right? i find ubuntu much better than most distro's when it comes to hardware autodetect and driver compatibility. You haven't tried variously formatted USB sticks yet. Try some formatted in FAT, some in EXT3, some in EXT4.. and then you realize sometimes it just doesn't read lol. That's the best thing about linux.. if it doesn't work just switch to one that does |

Thanks everyone, keep the comments coming. Anyone tried to configure linux for printing using CUPS. Please share your experience. Myself tried successfully using canon ip1000 (using rpm drivers from canon japan). Works like a charm.
