“PCLinuxOS is a rolling release distribution, which means users
can usually update through the package management rather than
perform a fresh install every six months. But a few times a year
developers release Quarterly Updates for new users or machines.
Recently it was that time again when several varieties of PCLOS saw
new releases. KDE 2010.10 Edition

“Starting with the flagship image, PClinuxOS KDE 2010.10 was
released featuring Linux 2.6.33.7 BFS kernel, KDE SC 4.5.2, Nvidia
and ATI fglrx driver support, proprietary wireless drivers, Firefox
3.6.11, Flash Player plugin 10.1.85.3, The GIMP 2.6.11, and an
OpenOffice.org installer. Besides the BFS kernel, several other
technologies were used to increase performance as well.”
