Product Details
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:
- It costs hundreds of
dollars less.
- Has virtually no spyware or virus
issues.
- Can still run on older computers where
newer versions of Microsoft Windows won't.
- 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.
