Ubuntu Innovations

| In the short amount of time that Ubuntu has been around (3 years, with 6 
| releases) it has attained an impressive level of popularity and growth.

Minty Dell(icious)

,----[ Quote ]
| Mint 3.0 was clearly happy in its new home. It found the Wifi Card and 
| configured it, no problem. It turns out that the Dell TrueMobile 1150 card 
| that was inside the unit had the extremely-well-supported-by-Linux Orinoco 
| chipset on it, according to "lspci".   
| 
| On screen displays for volume up/down/mute appear. Suspend works, even from 
| the "Fn-F1" keyboard sequence. Mint clearly supports all the hardware 
| features I have thought to test, but given the wireless card being Orinoco, 
| so would Fedora. This is very Linux simpatico gear.   
| 
| So: How long has Dell been thinking about supporting Linux anyway?

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.

Test Driving Linux Mint Cassandra

,----[ Quote ]
| 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.
