   Hi typers and readers,   
      
   	I am not sure where I found pclinusos64-KDE5-2016.04.15.iso.   
   I tried to find it again to check on any useful remarks but had no   
   luck.   
      
   	This is a preview of PCLinux with KDE 5.x.x.   
   It ran pretty well but here are the notes I took.   
      
   	Tried to put it on a flash drive but would not boot so may need   
   modification.  Maybe it needs to have isohybrid run on it.   
      
   	Wrote it to a DVD and had no problem booting.   
      
   guest]$ uname -a   
   Linux localhost 4.4.7-pclos1 #1 SMP Tue Apr 12 14:22:45 CDT 2016 x86_64   
   x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux   
      
   Kate Using:Version 15.12.3 with which I wrote these notes.   
      
   Using:   
   KDE Frameworks 5.21.0   
   Qt 5.6.0 (built against 5.6.0)   
   The xcb windowing system   
      
   KDE Partition Manager   
   Version 2.1.0 using the same   
   versions of KDE Frameworks and Qt.   
   Well it works pretty well, seems like some   
   GParted functions are misplaced.  Like the   
   apply button is on the left side of the bar   
   rather than on the right side.   
      
   	Tools to download and update the LibreOffice suite and the VirtualBox   
   are present in the menu system.   
      
   	Finally found System Settings hidden away just as I began to think it   
   was not there. Version 5.6.2   
      
   	Firefox 45.0.2 works as well as Firefox seems to do.   
         I used it to make a .pdf of a page,   
   	No .pdf reader available as far as I can see.   
   	Back here on PCLinuxOS 2016.03 Ocular opened my Firefox   
   .pdf very nicely.   
      
   	Thunderbird comes with but I did not try it out as   
   where would my information go?  Probably into the bit bucket.   
   	   
   	PCLOS Control Center was right there and I used it to look   
   around a bit.  Slightly different partition manager contained   
   there.   
      
   	This KDE Plasma 5 works but is still lacking the simple   
   refinements of the previous releases of the Plasma 4 series.   
   	I have to say the background of colored fog is nicer than   
   the geometric distortions seen in the other releases.   
   	All in all this preview version is as one might expect   
   running solidly but lacking many useful tools   
   	Oh and only one game, Kpatience, which has about a dozen   
   slightly different versions of solitaire available.   
      
   	I can hardly wait until Plasma 5 satisfies my utilitarian   
   tastes.   
   	bliss
