   You are correct. I think everything depends on your use of a computer.  I   
   use it mainly for work, and I need something that does what I need, no   
   more, no less.  But I know of people who push the system and complain if   
   something that they will never use will not work.  Now pcols is perfect   
   for me: and if I need a program that is not in the repositories, I just   
   ask to the forum and (if it is compilable) in a couple of days will be   
   released.  I cannot ask for more! ;-)   
      
   Then you have to consider that pclos is a rolling distribution... so no   
   need to reinstall everything when there is a change of version. And, like   
   a credit card ads says, this is priceless... ;-)
