IIRC, it's a fork of Mandrake 10, so will be RPM-based - but Madrake has URPMI, which does much the same sort of thing. ;)

Actually you are both right, it is rpm over apt :-)

I've had my elderly mum using PCLinuxOS 0.93 for about a year on very old hardware. She preferred the look of it too Ubuntu Dapper, and had no problems with it (prev. Win98 user) but I suspect that's more to do with it being KDE based

It has been very reliable etc. but I'm not so keen on .rpm distros being a Ubuntu/Debian fan so I haven't been doing many updates (& she on slow dialup)

It's a bit out of date now but has been rock solid
