PCLinuxOS 07 Test release

TexStar's PCLinuxOS team has released a new 2007 test candidate. This release is not final, but is available for the public to download and try. One of the major differences we have noticed, revolves around the Look and Feel of this version. The PCLinuxOS design team has spent some quality time revamping the bootsplash, Icons and more, giving this release much eye candy. This version appears to boot much quicker than previous releases as well.
