 PCLinuxOS PCLinuxOS was founded in 2003 by developer Bill "Texstar" Reynolds. Originally based on Mandriva, it comes as a live CD with a hard drive installation utility. It uses the KDE desktop environment and Advanced Package Tool (APT), usually found in Debian-based distributions, to install RPM packages. The distro includes non-free codecs and utilities, and is a great option for Windows users seeking their first taste of Linux.

How you choose to maximize the performance of your computer is entirely up to you.

 Pardus Gentoo-based Linux distribution Pardus is an advanced Linux distro but, thanks to its set of custom tools, it's also very easy to use. Pardus comes packaged with the KDE desktop environment and numerous software options, including Amarok music player, Firefox Internet browser, OpenOffice.org word processing suite, and a handful of games. It also has wireless hardware support and an assortment of advanced power-saving features. Since Pardus is hosted by Turkey's National Research Institute of Electronics and Cryptology, the installation process begins in Turkish, but can be easily switched to English using the install wizard.
