    thanks! PCLinuxOS is an underappreciated distro in my opinion. Everyone always gets excited about distros like Ubuntu, Mint and Fedora, it seems, but PCLinuxOS has always been one of my favorites--and it's one of the few I trot out when I am trying to get someone new to Linux to give it a try

    Haha nice, that's one finicky machine you've got. Personally I'm going back to Opensuse right now, I'm on Mint 6.

    I couldn't ever use PCLOS on my Asus because of the wireless card....could never get ndiswrapper to work right. This will be my first foray with this one.

    EDIT: This Mint Xfce is so nice, I just can't snuff it out with a PCLOS install....I don't think....LOL
