PCLinuxOS is as close as a distro can get to masking all the technical things that scare people away from the Linux OS. It makes installing and using the distro beginner-level easy. That says a lot for attracting both new and experienced users. PCLinuxOS offers several very good desktop options. It also makes a solid choice for more experienced Linux users. It is a distro that works with no fiddling required, but it also lets more experienced Linux users configure it their way.
My first Linux distro to try was PCLOS 2007 KDE. Distro-hopped a lot but have been back with PCLOS for a few years. Nothing else seems to measure up. I use Linux for most of my day-to-day computing. I have to use Windows XP some for Quickbooks.
I like the idea of MiniMe, but like PC Zen Mini better. I wish more Distro's would come with minimal software and let you install and configure the rest. If they wanted they could include a list of recommended software. To many Distros are bloated or just have a lot of software to remove because you prefer another program of just don't use the included programs.
