Thoughts on Ubuntu 8.10.
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently I finally got enough hardware together to build a new computer that
| will be used to test all the latest games and windows software on. When I
| built the new machine that meant I had my old main machine to do something
| with.
|
| So I took my old main machine and thought I would stick Ubuntu 8.10 on that
| and replace my third machine I had that was a dual boot ubuntu / xp machine.
| I figured when I replaced this third machine with what used to be my main
| machine that Ubuntu 8.10 would really like the hardware since it was a AMD X2
| 4800 cpu with 2 gigs of ram and a geforce 7950 512 meg video card.

Linux Mint Raises the User-Friendliness Bar
,----[ Quote ]
| This is a really pleasant distribution to install and use. It has everything
| you'd need in a typical desktop configuration plus a few handy productivity
| applications. Since it's based on Ubuntu you'll get good support for critical
| security updates and the mainstream applications. Overall, Linux Mint is a
| good choice if you're looking at upgrading to a new desktop OS. The only
| thing missing is the chocolate.

Review: Linux Mint 6
,----[ Quote ]
| I'd give Linux Mint 6 a big thumbs up. There were a few things that annoyed
| me about it, but those are minor and easy to disable if you're willing to do
| a little tweaking. But out of the box it's quite nice. I've been repeatedly
| impressed with the Linux Mint developers before, and I'm still impressed with
| them.

Linux Mint 6
,----[ Quote ]
| The number of Mint-specific additions in this release is impressive. It's
| good to see that the team isn't just focused on slapping on a different coat
| of paint and calling it a day. More offshoot distributions should follow this
| example. Don't just embrace, extend as well!
|
| In the past I've been both impressed and disappointed by Mint because
| although it added several useful out-of-the-box features to a solid Ubuntu
| base, it just wasn't different enough for me to justify using it over its
| parent. This release has a number of substantive differences that if further
| developed will address that issue quite nicely.

| I must say Linux Mint seems to always impress me with every new release. In
| this release Linux Mint has brought to us a new software manager called
| MintInstall, which allows you to browse the Mint Software portal offline, see
| screenshots that are available per package, and much more. Linux Mint has
| also brought you MintNanny, which allows you to control what domains are
| blocked.
