Updated PDF Download Table

We now have a newly designed, cleaned-up table that lists all of the past PDF magazine issues. If you notice any problems, please let us know at pclinuxos.mag at gmail dot com. The new table goes up to December, 2012 (and no, don't make the connections with the popular viral theories about the "end of it all." None is intended; it's just all the room I had to work with.). The table will be updated monthly, as new issues become available.

The New PCLinuxOS Wiki needs you!

The new PCLinuxOS Documentation site has been launched. We are currently recruiting members with a knowledge of PCLinuxOS to assist with the rebuilding of documentation for PCLinuxOS. Please visit MyPClinuxOS where a topic is in progress about the recreation of our documentation.
