| There is about two months left until the final release of Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy 
| Gibbon, but today marks the release of Ubuntu 7.10 Tribe 4. New in this alpha 
| release is GNOME 2.19.6, desktop search capabilities through Tracker, fast 
| user switching support, deskbar applet, OpenOffice.org 2.3, AppArmor by 
| default, and a smooth shutdown splash screen.

Linux Mint 3.0 Xfce Review

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux Mint is an Ubuntu-based distribution whose goal is to provide a more 
| complete out-of-the-box experience by including browser plugins, media 
| codecs, support for DVD playback, Java and other components. It is compatible 
| with Ubuntu software repositories. The 3.0 Xfce edition was released on 
| August 7, 2007. Some snapshots for Linux Mint can be found here, but these 
| snapshots are not specific for Xfce.

| The desktop CD allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at 
| all, and at your option to install it permanently later.

Review: Linux Mint 3.0

| Overall I’d give Linux Mint very high marks. While it doesn’t get everything 
| right, it does do the vast majority of things right. It looks good, runs 
| good, and boots fast.

| We've got the best operating system in the world, with new versions 
| released every day and in more than 300 different flavours. This is 
| fun at its best and I hope passion doesn't prevent people from enjoying it.

Test Driving Linux Mint Cassandra

| All in all, the system looks very good, I like the new artwork, it's 
| fast, it includes almost everything you'll ever need for your daily 
| tasks and if you cannot find something you need, I suggest you to try 
| the new Software Portal that Linux Mint created for FREE. I'm not a 
| GNOME fan and all that, but Linux Mint makes this aspect disappear 
| very fast and who knows, I may start to like the GNOME desktop after 
| all. Give Linux Mint Cassandra a try and I bet it will be love at 
| first sight.
