Review: Linux Mint 4.0 Daryna

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux Mint isn’t new, version 4.0 Daryna was released in November 2007, but I 
| installed it for the first time yesterday and here are my first impressions. 
| 
| [...]
| 
| To anyone considering Ubuntu Linux I would HIGHLY recommend Linux Mint 
| instead.

Linux Mint 4.0 (Daryna) - The Best Beginner Distro

,----[ Quote ]
| If you are new to Linux, there isn’t a better distro than Linux Mint around. 
| If you are an experienced Linux user, you won’t be disappointed. The biggest 
| plus is that everything is set-up for you ready to go after the install. The 
| chances are you won’t have to install one driver or adjust one setting to use 
| it properly, and all of the apps and codecs that you need are pre-installed. 
| When you do run into some problems, the Linux Mint support community is ready 
| to help and surprisingly big for a relatively new distro such as this one. In 
| addition to the Linux Mint support forums, you have access to the largest 
| Linux support community - Ubuntu forums, thanks to the fact that Linux Mint 
| is based on Ubuntu. As you see, Linux is evolving quicker than other OS right 
| now and Linux Mint 4.0 is proof of it.

Linux Mint 4.0

,----[ Quote ]
| I was very impressed with the last version of Linux Mint. There were very few 
| things I didn't like about it, and they mostly dealt with missing packages. I 
| was excited when I heard of the new version to see if any of my beefs had 
| been addressed. I'm also interested to see if Linux Mint can keep up the bar 
| they set with 3.2. Here we go.

A look at the Ubuntu 7.10 based newly minted version of Linux for use as my
daily use system

,----[ Quote ]
| Mint 4.0, and its underlying Ubuntu 7.10 may be bleeding edge (2.6.22 kernel) 
| but so far it is stable, fast, pretty, and high function as well. The only 
| reason I can see why this would not be a good enterprise laptop / desktop OS 
| for everyone would be that pesky amount of time it takes to certify new OS 
| releases by the central support team.

Introducing Linux Mint 4.0 ‘Daryna’

,----[ Quote ]
| You’ve probably heard of Linux Mint from some blog or RSS feed but never 
| looked into it thinking it’s just another distribution which can never 
| outtake Ubuntu, the distribution you’re currently using. In this case, you’re 
| in for a big surprise mister! Linux Mint IS Ubuntu but it also provides some 
| extra goodies and a brilliant, gorgeous and sexy interface. So basically, you 
| should think about Linux Mint as Ubuntu with a twist. And not just any other 
| twist, a BIG twist, one that will make you erase any distribution you have 
| and install Linux Mint instead because it simply ROCKS!

A Date with Daryna

,----[ Quote ]
| I can honestly say that Daryna is yet another successful distribution release 
| of Mint. It is highly recommended for those who want a hassle-free Linux 
| distribution because of its exceptional hardware and software support, 
| ease-of-use, and ever growing online community that can provide some 
| technical assistance. I can also recommend Mint 4.0 to newbies as it can be 
| painlessly configured without even touching a CLI. As a final point, Daryna 
| undoubtedly maintained or even improved Mint’s natural elegance.
