   You should probably amend that statement to "but everything I've used so   
   far works!" PCLOS is as vulnerable to upstream bugs as any other Linux.   
      
   I tried PCLOS a little before Mageia 1 was released. I found it to be   
   "somewhat" similar to Mandriva 2010.2, which I was using at the time,   
   but "very" similar would be a stretch. Mageia was and continues to be   
   much closer. And it works, too. The only serious problem I've had is   
   with a usb wifi dongle, and that one appears to be an upstream problem   
   with the current open source kernel module. PCLOS probably has the same   
   problem.
