Gettinther announced that build 3.7…a developer environment snapshot intended as proof of concept…has been released. This is an unofficial release…It’s stable…but we consider it not even an alpha quality release…mainly because it is being used as a proof of concept to show the new technologies we’ve integrated. Gettinther wanted to have a bit larger test [...]

I’ve been distro shopping lately. I had become complacent while working with PCLinuxOS because everything just works when using it. With nothing broken, I had nothing to fix This is a good thing, unless you want things to break every once in a while so you can learn to fix them. I know, [...]

Some of you may have noticed that Planet Unity got a face lift recently. I took a page from Linux Mint and their planet page and grabbed Gregarius which is a feed reader that aggregates your feeds into a central feed and has some really nice display options including tags for individual feeds.

It will provide a central core and use the mklivecd scripts that PCLinuxOS uses and it will provide a base from which to [...]

It’s really sad when the Alpha release of Ubuntu makes the front page of Digg.com for Linux/Unix… but the release, after two years of development, of PCLinuxOS 2009…a distribution that challenged Ubuntu for the #1 ranking at distrowatch in 2007-8…goes completely without being dug at all.

If you’re a Foresight Linux user, there are many resources you have at your disposal for documentation. First and foremost, you have the excellent guide shipped by default in Foresight accessible in the menu…but there are other resources you can search for a resolution to your problems. The Foresight Wiki and Foresight Forum are other [...]

I’ve been working with a lot of different distributions out there the past few days and haven’t found one [...]

Do you run PCLinuxOS 2007 or Minime 2008 and would you like to take advantage of the latest kernel for PCLinuxOS? You can do this by enabling the ‘testing’ portion of the repository.

You’ll be looking for the ’sections’ blank when viewing repository details and you’ll just need to add ‘testing’ [...]
