Recently when I checked if luca has implemented the support for my webcam, it was still not there; however, I was in for a pleasant surprise. That site now offers binary drivers for one more Linux distribution, other than Ubuntu, guess which one can it be, yes you are right --- PCLinuxOS.
The time has come when even driver makers are considering PCLinuxOS as very important distribution. Its amazing to find that they do not offer binaries for SUSE, Fedora, Mandriva or gentoo -- its only Ubuntu and PCLinuxOS.
PCLinuxOS is getting its well deserved place.
Just for stats, the distrowatch page hits
1) For last 7 days
| 1 | PCLinuxOS | 4245 |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Ubuntu | 2261 |
2) For last 30 days
| 1 | PCLinuxOS | 2923 |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Ubuntu | 2159 |
3) For last three months
| 1 | PCLinuxOS | 2591 |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Ubuntu | 2095 |
4) For last 6 months ( default)
| 1 | PCLinuxOS | 2602 |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Ubuntu | 2439 |
I am enjoying this.

Hey I could look into making a dkms package for PCLinuxOS if you would like. That would make installing these as easy as installing a rpm.
This is so nice of you.
Please do that.
I really appreciate this help.
This is why binary drivers are BAD, folks.
I'm not sure they can legally charge for the drivers if they load directly into the kernel, either... unless they do the open source blob with a binary only blob that they load. Anything that directly touches the kernel (i.e. compiles against it) is supposed to be GPLed. This is why NVIDIA and friends make an open source blob of their driver, then the binary only blob that interfaces with the open source blob.
Good to hear PCLOS finally getting recognition. I've supported it since the Beta 2 days--way back. Always knew it deserved to beat Ubuntu. Now it has.
One thing I'm enjoying is that there were a number of individuals who where too dang 133t to work with Texstar when he was a major 3rd party builder for Mandrake. So to shut them up he went off and built his own distribution based on Mandrake that out draws Mandrake(iva).
There really is a bitter sweet irony here.
Rank Distribution H.P.D*
1 Ubuntu 2573=
2 PCLinuxOS 1959>
3 openSUSE 1803<
thoughs are the ratings within the last 12 months, due to the release cycle with ubuntu currently its down, but it will shoot back up once 7.10 comes out.
I think that the reason why deveolpers are targeting the two are because there the most populare distros out there. Besides Fedora, mandrake, and gentoo.
Besides...
we would have to add the points of Xubuntu and Kubuntu and edubuntu as a project ;)
Ubuntu = 2434
Kubuntu = 435
Xubuntu = 264
= 3133 VS PCLOS 2611
but who's counting, right? ;)
Kudos to PClinuxOS for making linux rock too.
"Its amazing to find that they do not offer binaries for SUSE, Fedora, Mandriva or gentoo"
But Gentoo is a build from source distro for the most part, so binaries are against the Gentoo philosophy. Besides most Gentoo users would just get the Ubuntu driver to work in Gentoo anyways and then automate its installation with a portage overlay.
I fail to understand why people, that too intelligent people, consider Ubuntu,Kubuntu/Xubuntu .... all as one distribution.
Distrowatch lists them as individual distros; they have their own websites; Even canonical offers them as individual distros.
Lets refrain from doing something, which Ubuntu/Kubuntu people will not like.

Ubuntu = 2434

Though not a device driver, Versiera infrastructure management and monitoring system and supporting agents support PCLinux OS distribution.

Speaking as a "Kubuntu person", I should point out that, essentially, they *are* the same distro, each simply using a different desktop environment (i.e. KDE, Gnome, XFCE etc.). However, they all use the same core code, beyond simply the same linux kernel. I could do a "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and suddenly I have Ubuntu. This is because, at the core, they are the *same* distro.
It is actually mostly convenient that they offer them as different distros. I am rather limited in terms of bandwidth, so I don't particularly care for downloading a bunch of useless packages (the files necessary for an ubuntu/gnome and xubuntu/xfce installation).
Please people, don't refrain from considering Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu the same distro for fear of upsetting me.
I consider myself a linux newbie and had ubuntu fiesty dual booting with windows on a toshiba laptop with an oki c5150 printer network with an apple airport base. I could not get printer to work in ubuntu. installed pclos and printer worked right after installation. Amazing. Go pclos!!
Very nice comment but hasnt any this programing people. Thanks you Fiyat
有關專利的取得，各國立法例有別，有採『先申請主義』，亦有採『先發明主義』者。
依我國專利法第二十三條規定，二人以上有相同發明者，由先申請之人取得專利權。另外，參照專利法第九十五條規定，申請專利之新型，與申請在先而在其申請後始公開或公告之發明或新型專利申請案所附說明書或圖式載明之內容相同者，不得取得新型專利。再參酌專利法第一百十一條規定，申請專利之新式樣，與申請在先而在其申請後始公告之新式樣專利申請案所附圖說之內容相同或近似者，不得取得新式樣專利。可知，我國專利法就專利之取得係採『先申請主義』，也就是說，如果有二人以上有相同之發明，由先申請專利之人取得專利權。
然而，如果專利申請人是竊取他人的技術資料申請專利，則情況有所不同。蓋竊取者並非真正的發明人，依法並沒有專利申請權，縱使其先行搶先申請專利，真正發明人可以經由專利法所賦予的舉發撤銷制度，撤銷其取得之專利權（專利法第六十七條第一項第三款、第一百零七條第一項第三款、第一百二十八條第一項第三款），並以舉發撤銷後援用非專利申請人之申請日作為專利申請權人之申請日，以避免技術因被他人竊取專利申請公開，而被智慧局認為喪失新穎性，不願給予真正專利申請權人專利權（專利法第三十四條第一項參照）。
就貴公司所發生的案例以觀，貴公司可依照前揭專利舉發撤銷制度相關規定行使專利撤銷權，俾確保貴公司合法專利權益。
惟貴公司日後若有研發任何新技術，宜儘快專利申請，避免類似糾紛的發生，而徒增困擾。
