As with our previous tutorials, we try to make our tutorials so easy, even a newbie shouldn’t find it difficult to follow. Yes, I will agree that we sometimes over do it, but that’s why we’re here, to provide easy to read and understand computer tutorials for beginners as well as geeks.
In brief tutorial, I’ll show you how to upgrade packages in PCLinuxOS 2009.2 from your hard drive.
PCLinuxOS is a free and easy to use Linux Operating System that is distributed as a LiveCD, but also includes an installer if you want to fully install it and run it from your computer hard drive.
As with all other Linux distributions, PCLinuxOS, with its dedicated community base makes its version of Linux OS as complete as it can be right out of the box even for those new to Linux.

There are so many good Linux distributions out there, it will take a single person a year or more to test and explore every single distribution. That’s why we’re doing the testing so you don’t have to.
Over the coming months, we will be looking at some of the best Linux distributions for those of us that are new to the Linux concepts – that the operating system that runs the personal computer be free.
This brief tutorial shows you how to download and install Linux Mint 8 – Main Edition (Helena), a free Ubuntu-based, Linux operating system whose primary objective is to make its version of the Linux Operating system the most complete out-of-the-box system for the average Linux users.
Linux is a fine and very stable operation system compare to Windows. However, the people responsible for developing and marketing the Linux Operating System over the years didn’t do a great job working with average PC users to make the system as user-friendly as possible. I can remember back in the early Linux days, (might not be too early for some, but for me 1999 was early days) it took me half an hour if not more to get a single application installed on a Linux box because of improper package management.
