   Not really, no.  What's not installed can be downloaded from the   
   repository. ;)   
      
   PCLinuxOS 2014.04 is working quite well here at my end.  Sure, there are   
   still a few bugs here and there in Plasma 4, but in overall, I'm quite   
   satisfied with it.   
      
   It's not the first time I give PCLinuxOS a try.  Before I was using   
   Mageia, I had also already been running PCLinuxOS for several years ─   
   ever since my last Mandrake (proper) distribution, which was Mandrake   
   10.0, I believe ─ and PCLOS has always been a reliable and very decent   
   distribution. ;)

   I'm using MySQL here ─ KMail2 uses it ─ and I've just checked to see if   
   it is MariaDB or MySQL proper, but it is definitely the latter. ;)
