PCLinuxOS
PCLinuxOS, often abbreviated as PCLOS, is a desktop operating system. It is a free operating system for personal computers aimed at ease of use.
The precursor to PCLinuxOS was a set of RPM packages created to improve successive versions of Mandrake Linux (now Mandriva Linux). These packages were created by Bill Reynolds, a packager better known as Texstar. From the year 2000 to 2003, Texstar maintained his repository of RPM packages in parallel with the PCLinuxOnline Web site. In an interview, Reynolds said he started PCLinuxOS "to provide an outlet for [his] crazy desire to package source code without having to deal with egos, arrogance and politics."
In 2003 Texstar created a fork of Mandrake Linux 9.2 (which was released in October 2003). Working closely with The Live CD Project, Texstar has since developed that fork independently into a full-fledged distribution. The initial releases were successively numbered as "previews" i.e. p5, p7, p8 up to p81a, then p9, p91, p92, and p93.
With the advent of PCLinuxOS 2007, PCLinuxOS rebased on Mandriva Linux 2007. This implied a shift to a more modern code which will require a complete reinstall to this version. The new version featured a new look, and built-in 3D effects. A new logo has also been designed for the new version, and is incorporated in the boot screen. A new login screen was designed, entitled "Dark". PCLinuxOS 2007 final version was released on 2007-05-21.
