[NTLUG:Discuss] PCLinuxOS 2009.1

[Nat Both]

I even liked pclinuxos when it came out in May of '07. I don't know what you old hands in the linux community think about it, but this old man thinks it's pretty hot. The just released 2009.1 will do some neat stuff right off the wire. It's the only distro I know of that will run some of my java based financial trading platforms without a lot of twinking around. And that includes Ubuntu 8.10. It will run Oanda.com currency trading platform right off the install. Now for a 74 year old dummy (and most of the rest of the world) this is a giant step in the right direction. I for one want to see microshaft go broke, but LINUX has to be GUI JUI user friendly for that to happen.

These guys at PCLINUXOS are high stepping in that direction!

I still have a shuttle on which I tried to set up a dual boot and for now have lost all my prior windows stuff. I feel it could be made whole in five minutes with the right hash bash magic. I am willing to bring it 50 miles if someone would do it.

Best Regards to All,
Nat
