I had come to PCLOS from MEPIS, where its developer had to step aside for a while to make money and pay medical bills. During his absence MEPIS slid down hill. I had used PCLOS for over a year when the hurricane roared through Huston, destroying TexStar's home. He stepped away from the project, leaving it in charge of some folks. Almost immediately the quality began to go down hill and the fights over territory went up. I moved to Mandriva. After less than a year with Mandriva I bought a new laptop as a retirement gift. Mandriva's Intel driver wouldn't give acceleration. I worked with the xorg crew by supplying tracebacks from September 2008 to Feb 2009. On a lark I tried Kubuntu 9.04 Alpha. It gave me acceleration immediately. Mandriva had been selecting i815 and Kubuntu selected i915. I've been with Kubuntu every since and, IMO, it is the distro which fits me the best. That is, it has enough automatics to make life easy, but I can jump in and take control anytime I wish using Konsole and not having to plow through two dozen config files to do so."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”
