PClinuxFullMonty, the Gorilla has come to town for Dinner-Would you Join and enjoy the stay with him?

PCLinuxfullMonty is going to be one of the most feared Apes in the town by the Microsoft fans.
Yes it a monster of a distribution with all the utilities one needs arranged in what is called the FM Setup Layout and very well organized.

PCLinux was my Gold Standard of my Live CDs /DVDs.
This is my Gold Standard of Desktop.
Simply FM Layout stand out above all other distributions.
It is heavy and needs at least 1 GiB of RAM for install and even my laptop it froze once or twice while I was testing.

Because it has so many things loaded at boot time it takes almost all the RAM but does not use SWAP effectively in installation time.
So do not do any search for other things while it is being installed.
The version I have now had problem with making Live USB and it seems it has rectified that problem.
What I really love is it has LibreOffice and support for 60 localities which was lacking in PCLinux.

Thanks guys and Girls for your efforts.
I will give a feed back sooner I install it.

I was trying to find the FM Setup package in synaptic and I hope you make it available both at torrent and direct.

When I was trying to install PCLinux with UNetBootIn (not FullMonty) to a Live USB I encountered many problems and I have already posted how I got round it.

I am one who loves customized desktop and I hope they incorporate FM Setup with next PCLinux KDE.
Till then I hope they will have the package available at synaptic for download.
