PLD Features

General

Modular kernel

PLD kernels are build using modules. No more make menuconfig to make the kernel more stable or faster. You are free to pick which modules to load depending on hardware you want to use. The rest is still there, waiting for your next computer upgrade to save your day.

Desktop systems

Multiple desktop environments

PLD gives you the power of choice. You are free to pick the components you like.

Currently there are several desktop environments available:

  • Gnome
  • KDE
  • Xfce

(FIXME: make sure the list is complete)

Servers

Package management

Thanks to poldek, package management is a breeze. It is easy to log into your remote box using SSH and upgrade, install or remove selected packages. This powerfull command line utility will automatically resolve dependencies letting you know if there are any conflicting applications, fetch all the files needed and perform the installation for you.

Binary package distribution

Unlike Gentoo, PLD provides you with binary packages optimized for your system's architecture. No more asking users to log out just to get enough CPU power to compile that office package upgrade!
