“As for bundled applications, this release includes the
full OpenOffice.org suite in the latest stable version. Firefox is
the new default browser, although Konqueror is still available. You
can see and hear multimedia content through Amarok, MPlayer,
Kaffeine, Frostwire, DeVeDe, TVTime, Flash, and Java JRE. To view
and manipulate graphics and photos, the distribution provides the
GIMP, GQView, digiKam, and Kalbum. Internet applications include
XChat, Kopete, Thunderbird, and TightVNC. System tools include K3b,
Krusader, GKrellM, and SearchMonkey. Configuration utilities
include the KDE Control Panel and the PCLinuxOS Control Panel, an
application used to configure a wide variety of system and hardware
settings. It lets you set up a firewall, groupware mail services,
network devices and connections, system start services, and much
more. Under the hood we find Linux-2.6.18.8, Xorg 7.1.1, and GCC
4.1.1.”
