PCLinuxOS is a complete Linux distribution created with the new Linux user in mind. PCLinuxOS is a complete operating system for your computer, and is often used instead of Microsoft Windows because:

1. It costs hundreds of dollars less.
2. Has virtually no spyware or virus issues.
3. Can still run on older computers where newer versions of Microsoft Windows won't.
4. Has free Online support available.

PCLinuxOS 2007 is a great alternative to Microsoft Windows. It's easy to install and has an excellent track record of supporting a wide range of hardware. In our Opinion PCLinuxOS could be described as being somewhat like Windows 2000 with several modern technological advancements. We find it stable, and easy to install and use. Anyone who has ever used Microsoft Windows should feel at home using PCLinuxOS.


Please note: $1.80 from each 2007 disc shipped is given to support the continued development of PCLinuxOS. We are proud to offer this support and encourage you to financially support Free and Open Source Software Development.
