PCLinuxOS 2009 Goes Gold 90
nerdyH writes "After nearly two years, the PCLinuxOS project has achieved a major new release, PCLinuxOS 2009. The project is notable for maintaining a Linux hardware compatibility database, publishing a freely downloadable monthly Linux magazine, and selling hardware pre-installed with Linux. It boasts a pretty vibrant community, too, and is used by 3.2 percent of DesktopLinux readers, according to an ongoing reader survey there."

Don't feed the trolls. Fragmentation is so minor a problem for Linux filesystems there is only one distro -- Debian -- that even bothers to offer a defragmentation utility.
FUD does not need a defensive reply. Just tell the truth and let it fall where it will.

I actually know that I don't want to use Gentoo
No worries, with all the configuring and compiling, you'll never have to. Welcome to the fold!

I think you're modded "troll" only because there's no such thing as "unfunny". If there were a "you-THOUGHT-you-were-funny-but-you-really-really-failed" mod, then I would be begging others to "mod parent up" at this point.
In all fairness, the replies below your post are even worse that your original. Even my own reply here is below my usual standards, and had to therefore be anonymous.
So I guess in all fairness to US... your post was so lame that it make all who came after lame for having followed you.

With today's PCs, Gentoo compilations also fail much faster, so you can tear your hair out sooner. I suppose that's progress...
