Tut, tut, what's this doing on page 3.
If anyone is interested, having tried out PC/OS, Sabayon and PCLinuxOS I eventually decided on the latter. I liked Sabayon, but it became evident to me that there was rather more style than substance. For instance I just couldn't get the old PCI wireless card to work, whereas it was child's play on the other 2 distros. PCLinuxOS has it's roots in Mandriva which I was using, so I have quite a bit of familiarity with it - it seems (so far) to have an absence of the major annoyances of Mandriva (such as my sound card not working sometimes and different drivers being loaded for it on every reboot).
I installed PCLinuxOS yesterday, writing over what had been my XP installation - that made me smile. Except for a VBox virtual XP, I am all Linux now. I was back up and working very quickly, thanks to FEBE and TEBE which got my Firefox and Thunderbird exactly as they had been. I'm now just adding the things I need and currently installing XP in Virtualbox. Next big job - multiple monitors which I failed at in Mandriva - fingers crossed!
