Welcome to PCLinuxOS and the official WiKi

The development and documentation teams of PCLinuxOS would like to take a moment and truly welcome you to the world of Linux. Within the pages of this guide, you will find information you need, to use and learn PCLinuxOS, presented in easy to understand terms and without a lot of geek-speak. You may even find some of it rather humorous.

What is PCLinuxOS?

For new users: PCLinuxOS (abbreviated pclos) is a Linux distribution written from bottom to top with you, the new Linux user, in mind. It is one of the Linux versions which can be operated very easily just like Windows. It includes all the essential software for everyday people. Who better to help you along your way than someone who is fresh from the journey themselves?

For advanced users: Some of our users have been around Linux for a long time, but found PCLinuxOS so complete and friendly, that they began using it as their primary operating system. For power users, PCLinuxOS is extremely easy to customize.

PCLinuxOS is provided as a single installable "Live CD". This lets you try it without making any changes to your computer. If you like it, you can install it to your hard drive. What you were trying out will become what you boot into.
