BAD!!!** _ People who are accustomed to windows may find PCLinuxOS helpful to them in transitioning a general computer user to using Linux. PCLinuxOS uses a graphical interface very similar to how windows works. A good feature of PCLinuxOS is that one can run it and try it without uninstalling windows first. ## What is PCLinuxOS? PCLinuxOS is a free easy to use Linux-based Operating System for x86\_64 desktops or laptops. **PCLinuxOS** is distributed as a LiveCD/DVD/USB ISO image, and can also be installed to your computer. The LiveCD/DVD/USB mode lets you try PCLInuxOS without making any changes to your computer. If you like it, you can install the operating system to your hard drive. Locally installed versions of PCLinuxOS utilize the Advanced Packaging Tool (or APT), a package management system (originally from the Debian distribution), together with Synaptic, a GUI frontend to APT for easy software installation. PCLinuxOS has over 12,000 rpm software packages available from our software repository. **PCLinuxOS** has a script called **mylivecd** , which allows the user to take a ‘snapshot’ of their current hard drive installation (all settings, applications, documents, etc.) and compress it into an ISO CD/DVD/USB image. This allows easy backup of a user’s data and also makes it easy to create your own custom liveCD/DVD/USB. PCLinuxOS has additional support for over 85 language through our simple Addlocale interface."

One thing here; I read the post and by dev I just automatically assumed you meant someone from community management / development. I blame it on lack of coffee. If you’re referring to gameplay devs and software devs those that _can_ be directly poked are most often on Twitter, else it’s poking us the community devs and ISDs to relay your message. ---

Make a post in the forums and write articulately and politely? There are so many people here who talk in pejorative terms about the devs, failing to recognise that they do a _really_ hard job because keeping _everyone_ happy _all_ the time is _literally_ impossible. This _won’t_ mean that you actually _get_ what you want mind you, but they might actually rake the time to read your subsequent posts rather than ignoring them because _‘you’re one of those forum people who just likes to rant at the devs’_. 🐁 ---

> [@Han\_Zealot](#): > > Yes, and don’t forget the ultimatums. You may laugh, but it is the top of the iceberg only. There are people about which devs will never even hear about and they are always major part of the disgruntled. I wouldnt ignore the desperate cries like that, especially when the issue is seriously critical, like caps and berets without hair. Or Imicus being so ugly. Or many other things in need of improvement… ---

By all means, I hope they don’t get ignored. I’m pretty sure CCP is aware of the disgruntled player’s game issues and desires. Not sure what they decide to do about those desperate cries on a daily basis but ignoring those pleas isn’t a good idea, I agree. I can’t help but find those funny though. Maybe because we’re talking about a game, that it is not essential to play it for someone’s quality of life and that if CCP did close EVE down we’d all go on with our lives. ---
