Any body used PCLOS extensively?

[Pogeymanz]

My father-in-law is a Linux-newbie who only knows Ubuntu+Gnome. He wanted to expand his horizons a little bit by trying PCLOS (his brother-in-law told him about it).

I think it might actually be best for him because I was totally embarrassed by Ubuntu's dist-upgrade to 9.10 and the idea of a conservative rolling-release distro would be cool since he'll never have to have a massive upgrade or reinstall.

But how does PCLOS handle big, scary updates, such as Xorg-server, kernels, Grub2 (already happened?), etc?

Also, when is KDE4 going to make it onto the ISO?

deja vu?

I have thought about the same. It is so out of date!

I found this though; http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,63698.0.html

Well, I know how to install KDE4 (which I will do if/when my father-in-law decides to use it).

But, I keep reading that KDE4 will be replacing KDE3.5 soon. I just wanted to know when.

But, what's more important to me right now is the long-term usability of the distro. It would be nice for him to be able to update without being afraid of something breaking.
