PCLinuxOS forum on LXDE

[utu]

This is a small update on the PCLinuxOS distro and forums.

The forum is as active and unfriendly as reported earlier.
Don't expect a lot of help unless Texstar, the developer
answers your posts.

I have made a pretty good 2 Gb LiveUSB version of PCLinuxOS,
including LibreOffice, starting with the 11.06-LXDE-mini
version LiveCD. The USB install, with persistence is a
little fatter than Knoppix 6.4.4 but there is a lot of
substance for that: this includes more complete versions
of LibreOffice and the LXDE/PCManFM suite of programs.
And the network mgmt for Broadcom wifi is as good as it gets.

Intel video seems to be the only orphan I've personally
found in PCLinuxOS. I solved a resolution problem in KDE
only to find that solution won't work in LXDE. My complaint
is minor when compared to a clamor by others over sundry
alleged Intel/xorg video performance shortcomings.

For those with more real estate and courage than I,
PCLinuxOS has two really interesting features that might
be of interest. One is a menu choice call mylivecd,
which produces a remastered iso from a LiveCD session of
additions and subtractions of programs using Synaptic.
The other is a program which brings in Oracle's VirtualBox
via Synaptic.
