PCLinuxOS Remastered!

PCLinuxOS is an English only live CD initially based on Mandrake Linux that runs entirely from a bootable CD. Data on the CD is decompressed on the fly, allowing up to 2GB of programs on one CD including a complete X server, KDE desktop, OpenOffice.org and many more applications all ready to use. In addition to the live CD, you can also install PCLinuxOS to your hard drive with an easy-to-use livecd-installer. Additional applications can be added or removed from your hard drive using a friendly apt-get front end via Synaptic.

Kubuntu 8.04 Will Not Be LTS

Canonical and the Kubuntu team decided that, due to the delayed release of KDE 4, the upcoming release of Kubuntu, 8.04, will not be a long term support release.

Periodically, Ubuntu, Kubuntu and other Ubuntu variants from Canonical launch a LTS release (the version is supported for three years on the desktop and five years on the server). Canonical and the Kubuntu team have decided not to tag Kubuntu 8.04 as LTS, because KDE 4 will be released shortly before the distro. Incorporating KDE 4 in Kubuntu would be premature, and could cause instability to the system.
