a simple poll for your ml people here:
a.) what (linux) distribution do you use?
PCLinuxOS
:) Off topic but how did you get turned onto PClinuxOS? Was it from
this list?

Well... I was searching for a Mandrake alternative because I dislike limited
free Mandrake repositories... Searching on the net I found PCLoS... I found a
well established community (
pclinuxonline.com)... I tryed the boot CD and I
was astonished from the power of that stuff... Then I installed it and I am
very happy of this distrib. I used lot of distros in my pcs (each one for
several months): Fedora / RH (1 year), Mandrake (4 years), Debian (3 months),
knoppix hd installed (2 months), Ubuntu (this one only few weeks), Mepis (2
months)....
At the risk of straying even further off-topic, can I ask what you didn't like
about Debian, that it was so bad that it only lasted 3 months? It's next on my
list to try, after my somewhat unimaginative history of Slackware (2 years)
Redhat( 4 years, until they pulled the plug), Gentoo (about 6 months and
loving it).
The main thing I love about gentoo (other than the geek factor) is the emerge
facility, which I gather I get about the same with debian's apt-get. So I
thought I should try it.
