Absolutely beautiful desktop with PClinuxOS E17 edition


The only problem with E17 is the installation. Getting this desktop installed on some distributions is a nightmare at best. So when there is a distribution that ships with E17 as the default, I always give it a good look see. One of the newest options for this is PCLinuxOS – Enlightenment edition. I thought I would share my thoughts on this special distribution.
