Why and when did you start using Linux?
I started using Linux in year 2000 , out of curiosity and out of boredom with Windows, found RHL (RedHat Linux) and later on played with SuSE for a while, then discovered PCLinuxOS V 0.92 and then Arch Linux. I've used PCLinuxOS since that version and Arch Linux since 2009. My Arch Linux installation from 2009 is still alive and working perfectly.
What specific equipment do currently use with PCLOS?
I am using PCLinuxOS on my two laptops and a desktop pc. The laptop is a 64-bit Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz.
Do you feel that your use of Linux influences the reactions you receive from your computer peers or family? If so, how?
Of course it does, everybody is impressed and come to me for fixing their issues mostly related to Windows viruses , my laptop is something unusual for everyone, they look at my Linux installations (PCLinuxOS and Arch Linux, which I triple boot with Windows 10 ) as something very unique, some think I am using some kind of Apple MacBook!
What would you like to see happen within PCLOS that would make it a better place. What are your feelings?
I want this distro to live despite all the odds. I would want to grow older with it.
