Re PCLinuxOS: recently I burned the live DVD image to bootable USB

might have done it wrong and am willing to try again.

Hi Robert,
Thank you for taking the time to try my remaster. Unfortunately, I am not 100% sure that
PCLinuxOS is compatible with tools like UnetBootin for usb keys. Can you try it directly
on a computer with an optical drive?
Also, from my experience as an Asus EEE user, unetbootin does not work all the time on
first try. I also got better results by not touching to the computer while unetbootin copy
the data.

If we are going to do this, I suggest concentrating on the actual TDE
packages and a handful of the most popular third-party applications
(amaroK, K3B, kaffeine to start with) and adding other third-party
software by request. That's still ~100 packages, I think, since the
core packages are split into individual applications with their own
ebuilds.

Hi,
PCLinuxOS is super stable, works very well, has good GUI config utilities
and does not use systemd. It also doesn't plan to use it. It is also rolling
release, so you don't have to use dinosaur version of your software as
Debian stable. But it is not multi-platform as Debian...
