Just released are two ‘mini’ editions of PCLinuxOS. You will know them by their names MiniMe and Zen Gnome Mini.
MiniMe is a minimal livecd that is bootable and can be installed. It comes with a very basic KDE desktop without additional applications. It is designed for advanced users or for users who wish to learn how to customize their system with the applications and support files they want to use. Additional software can be installed through the Synaptic Software Manager (requires network connection). Add your own background, window decorations, web browser client, email client, music client and fully trick out your desktop the way you want it. MiniMe iso provided by community member Linuxera.
D/L KDE 3 MiniMe 2009.1 (298 mb)

Gnome Zen Mini 2009.1 – A minimalistic Gnome Desktop. Here is also the English-only version of ZEN-mini, 360 MB in size — a fully working Gnome desktop and only a few apps installed (Fireforx, gEdit, grdc and Eog)… one of the smallest Gnome distros available today! This is an updated iso originally provided by community member Don Crissti.

This project has sprung up from the MyPCLinuxOS Forum per a request from the Xfce enthusiasts. Sproggy took this project on as a personal task to see if he could create a worthy PCLinuxOS Remaster to sit alongside the other greats Remasters out there. Sproggy chose Xfce because it is lightweight and superfast on old computers.

KDE 4 packages for the PCLinuxOS distrubtion are scheduled to arrive in the PCLinuxOS repositories by the end of June or sooner if things build well. Hopefully most of the 3rd party applications will have matured enough to replace their KDE 3 counterparts.

The AptURL Protocol Handler and web browser support are required to install packages.
