What Is PC/OS Desktop Linux Distribution

PC/OS Desktop 

Dear reader, are you looking for a lightweight Linux Ditribution to use on you (Old) computer? There are so many Lightweight Linux distributions out there. One of them which are my favourite is PC/OS, this Distro derivative from Ubuntu Linux Distro.

Almost all of standar big Distribution did not include Multimedia codec on their Package, tis issue make user that has a little problem with installing/finding multimedia codec feel a little disappointed about it. 

It will not be happened if we use a Linux Distribution that has multimedia codec included, like PC/OS.

PC/OS can play Multimedia file such as MP3’s File and DVD Movie’s File, and also has Flash Player and Sun Java 6 JRE included.

We can find almost all Ubuntu’s standard applications in this Distribution, like Abiword 2.4.6, Gnumeric 1.8.2, Flock 1.2.4 dan Audacious 1.5.0.

In Spite of using Xfce Windows Manager, PC/OS still have abeautifull Look, realy reliable, fast and Lightweight. This Operating System is really suitable for Old computers who need modern features with its simplicity and light in weight.

The Multimedia Features are really rockin :) the good news is PC/OS allready include Wine Application, an application to run Windows OS Application on Linux OS, So if you stilll get your hand on Wndows Apps, you can bring it On PC/OS (Not All Application can be run)

You can get more information and download the Distro on their website @ http://www.pc-os.org
