Hi Cluggers, For a few months I have been using PCLinuxOS. I did something to stuff up Gentoo so I grabbed a computer magazine from the supermarket and installed whatever distro featured on the cover disk - which happened to be PCLinuxOS.
Impressions: Overall good. All codecs where there right at the start, without having to add repositories and manually apt-get/emerge/urpmi them. KDE default - my preferred desktop (although there's nothing wrong with gnome if that's what works for you). I read somewhere that it's RPM based, but uses Synaptic as the package manager. Synaptic seems to work okay. Meets my needs. Can't compare with other distros coz I haven't kept up with the latest trends. So this distro meets all my needs for now. Nice and easy. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to give Linux a go. Yuri
