Out of curiosity I installed PCloS 2007 in VirtualBox (a virtual machine). I then tried installing Apache on the virgin system using Synaptic, and it fails with a "404 file not found" error. I looked under Setting - Repositories (in Synaptic) and only one was selected (called http://spout.ussg.indiana.edu/linux/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/).. I added the second one down by clicking the selection box (called http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/pclinuxos/apt/), clicked the "Reload" button, and Apache installed. (The second repo may have a different URL, it may be localized.) By the way it also then offered me over 500 updates which were not available with the original repo. As for the distro being RPM based, that maybe so, but it uses apt to install packages. I tried "apt-get install k9copy" (the Debian way to install packages) in a root console and K9copy installed sucessfully. Hope the above isn't too confusing, I just had a quick look-see to see what happens.
