I am a recent windows migrater. I have tried several distros including the resourse hog known as Linspire (I was not Linspired). The easiest to migrate to that I found is PCLINUXOS. Its awesome, It has everything I need to get started. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that its beta. I have gone to the pclinuxos forums and asked when a real-deal version will be out but noone seems to want to answer me. Is this thing gonna live only in the development stage? Or is there going to be a distro out thats final?

No Linux distrobution is ever finished. Everything is essentually in development, but yes eventually there will be a version that will be marked stable and out of testing. The reason you aren't getting an answer as to when is because no one knows. It all depends on what happens during their testing phase and what needs to be fixed and how stable it is. If you feel that you need a really stable distrobution you should try one of the more major ones. Or if you are running a server or something where you don't require new software you could run Debian Stable. Otherwise you could try the latest versions of suse, fedora, ubuntu, ect, that are in the final verison.

I'm sure you're probably not real anxious to try "yet another distro", but I'm assuming you haven't tried Mepis yet. www.mepis.org It has a feel that is very much like Microsoft also. Mepis is stable.
