	Windows poses a problems because so many have to use it at work,
The solution would seem to be a dual-boot Windows Linux machine is 
messed up every time MS decides to repair its broken kernel which messes
up the boot-loader which then has to be reinstalled.

	Actually PCLinuxOS has few problems with updates, using Synaptic
and permits the use of several kernels on one machine, right now I have
two Long Term Support versions installed and the latest from the 
packager, Texstar, who if he finds an error has been perpetrated will 
work on setting it right. On the Forum we have coders and testers as
well as idiots like me.  Now maybe I am lucky having decided after a
couple of HP products fail on me in record time to use Used Dell 
Latitudes, have an E6520, E6540 and E7450. No problems on these models
and I have little fear of a problem when i get around to updating my
two older machines.

Forum is at <https://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php> . Registration 
is free and if you cannot find the current iso files hit the Main button
on this initial forum screen and you will find yourself at the main 
site.   Current iso are 2011, three version of KDE, Mate, XFCE from
the packager and several others from the Community.   The PCLinuxOS 
Magazine is published every month AFAIK and is at volume #178, aimed
at the User base.  PCLinux does not use or even plan to use systemd.
Sure you can get an older package list at Distrowatch.com.  It is best
to have some experience before using PCLinux but like nearly every
current distribution it starts from a Windows XP version of KDE or
whichever Desktop Environment you think you want to use.

Some people like Aragorn move to Manjaro from PCLinuxOS but he is
very knowledgeable and experienced.

bliss - brought to you by the power and ease of PCLinuxOS 
and a minor case of hypergraphia
