It's been quite some time since I played with PCLinux but I thought it
was a nice distro. It would be one of my choices to give someone that
was interested in converting from Windows. Another distro I played with
for a short time more recently is Freespire.

I saw where someone was talking about package handling issues with
PCLinux. Freespire uses something called CNR Warehouse. Installing new
software from there is a one click breeze. In some ways better than
OpenSuSE's Yast [ my distro of choice ]. Freespire would be another
choice I would recommend [ Along with OpenSuSE of course ].
