A newer version of PCLinuxOS is available here.

 

We offer PCLinuxOS 2009.1 on Live Installation CD, Live USB Flash Drives, Secure Digital (SD) Cards, Compact Flash (CF) Cards, and VirtualBox Virtual Machines.

After a long two year wait PCLinuxOS is back with a new release!

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 2009.1 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. Anyone who has ever used Microsoft Windows should feel at home using PCLinuxOS.

 

 

This release features kernel 2.6.26.8.tex3, KDE 3.5.10, Open Office 3.0, Firefox 3.0.7, Thunderbird 2.0.0.14, Ktorrent, Frostwire, Amarok, Flash, Java JRE, Compiz-Fusion 3D and much more. We decided to use kde3-5-10 as our default desktop as we could not achieve a similar functionality from kde4. We will however offer kde4 as an alternative desktop environment available from the repository once we stabilize it. PCLinuxOS is an rpm based distribution utilizing apt-get with a Synaptic Software Manager frontend. In addition to the above PCLinuxOS comes with mklivecd GUI, a nice utility to build a custom live CD from your install. Install or remove what you want then remaster your own cd. Great for backups or to give to friends. PCLinuxOS is also known as as rolling release distribution. What that means is you install once and update it when new applications become available from our repository.

Basic Hardware Recommendations:

• PC - works on either an 32 Bit (x86), or newer 64 Bit (x86_64, AMD64)
  
• 8 GB of free disk space (if you intend to install)
  
• 512 MB of memory (will work with 256 MB, but is slower)
  
• a CD or DVD drive (to run the CD)
  
• a network card (NIC)
• a high speed internet connection (for new software and updates). Alternately you can use the Repository DVDs if you have a slow Internet connection, or none at all.
  

Support is offered through the PCLinuxOS online forum, or via live IRC chat. We have found the PCLinuxOS forum to be a great support community where just about any time you ask for help you get great assistance within just a few minutes.

Custom Requested items, unlike others in the catalog, are simply downloaded and put on a disc for you. They are in our catalog because someone has already requested it. If there is something you don't see and can't find using the search function at the top you can still order it here and we will download and burn it to a disc for you.
