   Mauro,   
   I used PCLinuxOS from 2009 until about Feb. of 2014.  Their constant   
   kernel troubles with my equipment, the bum ATI driver and other things   
   led me to drop it.  Rolling distros seem to break a lot of things on a   
   regular basis.  That is why I went to an enterprise Linux with ultra-long   
   support times.
