PCLinuxOS is hot right now.  As much so as
Ubuntu it would appear in terms of the activity
numbers.

The question is why?  PCLinuxOS appears to
be a derivative of Mandrake and/or Mandriva,
which has long been considered a good distribution,
and was once a top choice,  but what about it is
drawing all the interest?  Why is someone choosing
it over Ubuntu for example?
