I find it so interesting that I waited all summer long for the next PCLOS, just to have the current one crash on my system, and the day I get a new distro installed on my computer, the new PCLOS comes out.

It looks very pretty. Saw it in the screen shots. It is a very, very good distro. I suspect that 2009 will offer much that it's predecessors couldn't quite yet. I regret having to depart from it because PCLOS 2007 Final was my first distro and experience with Linux. I learned a valuable lesson from it, though (along with Mandriva): when my whole life is on one computer, servers and all, choose stability over anything else.

SierraDump was explaining to me on MSN that a lot of these commercial/fancy/private distros look really cool and can be a lot of fun. However, they're not always as "buttoned down" as the major distros (*buntu, Opensuse, Fedora, ect). Regardless, we all know that every distro has something to offer. Whether it be something specific like a server (CentOS, Ubuntu), really pretty eye candy (Dreamlinux, Sabayon, Mint, eLive), advanced use (Gentoo, Knoppix), or speed (Absolute, Xubuntu, Vector); each one is unique in it's own way for each person out there.
