Linux Mint is.....Mint!
,----[ Quote ]
| Last weekend I posted an article called Comparing Linux Distributions where I
| reviewed eight different Linux distributions on five different machines. I
| had used the freshly released Beta version of Linux Mint and kept getting
| read errors on the disk. This weekend I downloaded the real version of Mint
| 4.0 and was able to install it on my Dell Dimension 4300S. The install was a
| piece of cake. Mint uses the same 6 step install process the Kubuntu uses.

| very fast and who knows, I may start to like the GNOME desktop after

| All in all Linux Mint is a great distribution, and being based on

Mint for Personal Use Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| There is no more MS Windows at my house, at least not first level.
| Kinda of weird to think about in a way. All the excitement about MS
| Vista flashing about and I won't even see it. Instead, I am left
| wondering what my new Apple phone will be called when I get one
| (Oh yes: Serious need for that to replace my aging cell phone.
| Much penny saving to do.). I am guessing the new bit of required
| hardwares name will not be iPhone though. And a new territory to
| be explored: how well does Linux speak Bonjour and the other Apple
| network protocols? It would be pretty silly if the only way I can
| get to the hard drives on the Mac Mini is via SMB. I suppose NFS
| is an option. I have already hooked the external disk bays from
| the Mac Mini up to Linux before: Linux knows HFS+.
|
| I won't be the only kid on the block whose house is not running
| MS Windows though. They are really close to shipping the OLPC
| hardware, the XO. Everyone with one of those will be running
| Linux too.

Linux Mint "Bianca" KDE Edition Beta 020: A Small Review
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux Mint is an Ubuntu-based distro whose goal in life, per its
| website, "is to produce an elegant, up to date and comfortable
| GNU/Linux desktop distribution." The developers have released
| both GNOME-based and KDE-based versions in the past, and their
| latest version, v2.2 "Bianca," is already final in its GNOME
| incarnation. They just released a beta version of "Bianca KDE
| Edition" using KDE v3.5.6. The final version is to be released
| later this month.

Review: Linux Mint 2.2 Beta 020 "Bianca KDE Edition"
,----[ Quote ]
| While it is always nice to have another Linux distribution, because
| choice is good, I didn't see any compelling reason to use Linux Mint
| over the Ubuntu which it is based off of. The look is slightly
| different, with some different configuration options here and there.
| I can't really say it offers anything special over Ubuntu, but you never
| know, there are no doubt future improvements that the Linux Mint team
| will make. Hopefully they fix the video driver issue so I can try it
| out on my desktop.

Linux

| Overall Linux Mint is extremely user friendly Linux distribution
| perfectly suited for someone making a jump from Windows to Linux,
| it combines power of Ubuntu with ease of Windows and provides a
| solid desktop that is worth using. It provides relief from hassles
| of installing Codecs and Plug ins and other good desktop
| applications on Ubuntu and provides all the benefits of Ubuntu.
| If you are new to Ubuntu and dont have much technical know how
| this is the Linux Distribution to look Forward.

Linux Mint 2.2 [Review]

| Linux Mint is a really promising distribution. It's fresh, fast and
| contains a couple of very good additions that should have been in
| the current Ubuntu release. A growing number of enthusiasts picking
| Linux Mint over Ubuntu, but I don't really think it will ever outgrow
| Ubuntu.
|
| I started my review by quoting the Linux Mint developers goal
| "... to produce an elegant, up to date and comfortable GNU/Linux
| desktop distribution" and I'm glad to say that they have reached
| this goal. A job well done!
