You can open Microsoft Word files in Open Office.

Ok, you proved me wrong there. btw, can you open Open Office docs in Word?
Still, can you play any games in Linux?  Next to none.

Cool!
Yeah, if Linux could get some of those, I'd be a Linux user, no question.

Also I hate both Mandriva (tried in the Mandrake days) and Fedora.  I have never tried PCLinuxOS, but don't have any intention to anytime soon.


I use PCLinuxOS. It's geared about being user-friendly and stable.

Positives: you don't have to do as much configuration (compared to more popular distributions), the community support is excellent (it's a community driven distribution) and the hardware detection is above average.

Negatives: due to the fact that it's built by a small team, some packages are slightly outdated. Some solutions to problems are still unknown.

It's probably best for people who don't like tinkering with their system.

Edit: PCLinuxOS was also used for the official Amarok LiveCD. This means it's recognised by the Amarok development team:
Quote:
Amarok Live is a LiveCD based on PCLinuxOS, created by Texstar, which itself is a LiveCD distro, mastered with the mklivecd scripts created by Jaco Greeff and currently maintained by Tom Kelly.


Just some useful information.
