Datamation has a review of PCLinuxOS KDE edition. "Normally I associate KDE with features, not speed. Yet I've found that PCLinuxOS running KDE is very responsive. Menus just pop open without delay. I can bounce through the settings quickly and without any lag whatsoever. And considering this is on an Intel Atom CPU (what I had available for testing), that's really saying something. I also found the boot-up time to be more than acceptable. And thanks to being able to configure my boot loader choices from the start, the process was as streamlined as I wanted it to be. I've used PCLinuxOS in the past, so I'm familiar with how dependable it is. With the exception of an application crashing for whatever reason, I've found the desktop environment quite stable. This was also true, even after 900 updates! And with this track record, you only need to tie in the reality that you won't ever have to re-install again baring a hard drive failure. It's a fairly attractive option when you consider this fact."
