-PLD is a free, RPM-based Linux distribution,​ aimed at the more advanced users and administrators,​ who accept the tradeoffs of using a system, that might require manual tweaking in exchange for much flexibility. Simultaneous availability for a wide variety of architectures and non-conservative approach to RPM usage provides our users with a consistent environment on almost all available architectures.

 +With the addition of new longterm kernel (4.4) we would have six (6) package lines to keep up. Because of this I'm removing 3.10 and 3.14 from Th to keep the number maintainable. There will be no more releases for those lines and I will move existing packages to th-archive within a month.

-Upcoming PLD kernels (>= 3.0.13-2) will have [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Physical_Address_Extension|PAE]] enabled on 32bit i686 kernels by default. Such kernel will run only on processors that support PAE (grep pae /​proc/​cpuinfo to verify). If your CPU doesn'​t support PAE then you have to switch to PLD i486 kernel. ​+Upcoming PLD kernels (>= 3.0.13-2) will have [[wp>​Physical Address Extension|PAE]] enabled on 32bit i686 kernels by default.
