[ Recommends PCLinuxOS 2007 ]
     

 

 


Welcome to Linux Zone!


Welcome to Linux Zone, a web site dedicated to providing useful tutorials to help you get the best out of Linux. In particular this site is for:

  • New users who need help installing and getting to grips with Linux
  • Intermediate and more advanced users who want to customize their install
I have tried many Linux distributions over the last year but quickly settled for PCLinuxOS 2007 as the one to install on my home computer. I can highly recommend this distro to new users and to anyone who wants a more active community distro. Many of my guides here are written specifically for use with PCLinuxOS, but should work equally well in any other KDE and/or RPM based distro.

There are now a number of tutorials and articles and more content will continue to be added. I will add update details to this homepage as I add content (see below for details). Thanks for visiting and check back regularly!

If you like this site or want to comment on anything you see, you can leave comments on most pages, after each blog entry or in the guestbook.

Why not download PCLinuxOS and give it a try in live-CD mode on your computer.

 



Update


20/07/2007
After an initial rush of additions, you can be forgiven for thinking that I have ground to a halt. Far from it, I am working on a solo project creating a series of PCLOS remasters based on Fluxbox. See the blog for more details. This will keep me busy for the next few weeks/months but I am learning so much about Linux in the process that it should inform a number of new tutorials in the future. If you are interested in my PCFluxboxOS project, please become a tester.

I have added a tutorial on how to set up a treble-boot system with Windows XP, PCLinuxOS and Ubuntu. I show you how to partition your drive and create a shared data partition from which you can access files from all 3 operating systems.

I have updated the blog and added part 3 of the comparison between PCLOS and Ubuntu to the distro-watching page.

I have now started a blog where I will give my opinions on news and events in Linux and Open Source. I couldn't resist with a first entry about those deals with Microsoft. I'll try and update it weekly so check back regularly. Do further the debate by leaving comments

19/06/2007
I have now added a distro-watching page where I will initially look at Ubuntu 7.04 and then other distros for comparison against PCLOS.
