PCLinux-DVD-The Gorilla has Come to Town!
Yes, I do not miss a punch when I say gorilla has come to town!
The KDE 4, PCLinuxMonty has come to town bringing with it a bounty of packages.
I prefer it called a PCLinuxBounty instead of Monty.
Better still dearly PCLinux-The Gorilla in Town.
First of all let me thank the guys / girls who packaged this 4GiB-Gorilla of a version in a DVD and then posting it on only LinuxTracker, in beginning of the year not in the middle or nowhere in the year.
Posting it on K or bit torrent was an absolute requirement since if I wanted to download on a normal browser it would have taken ages and would have never being able to accomplish. Even the K-torrent it took solid 2 and a half days of continues downloading, Thank god we had a holiday for our Independence Day, I could do that on that day was an achievement.
Please do not post this on a normal sever. It will kill the interest of a newbie in the poor third world country wanting to download it. S/he would have never (mostly he’s) downloaded it with the appallingly slow download speed here and poor servers (switched off in the night) here. They would not have the perseverance of an old man like me who would never take a No for an answer.
I must tell you it was not without pain I mounted it on my old computer with 1GiB RAM.
I had to go back to SuSe days and press F1. F2. To F6 to get the bearing and mounted a old kernel to boot it up,
It was nor quick boot with 64 RAM old graphic card.
Once mounted with very slow response it had packages well into the Knoppix 3.4 GiB live CD packages. Only difference was Knoppix was fast still my favorite as a live CD.
This time Knoppix has done honours by allowing it to be installed into hard disk.
Whereas I could not find it in the PCLinux. I think it may be there in the F1 which I did not delve deeper. I will find it when I am ready to install it.
Thanks guys for including LibreOffice in both.
So enjoy both when it is hot hot like a spicy meal.
Not this side of April anyway.
