Linux Mint - The Distro to Fill the Missing Gap

| Another thing that surprised me is the Ndiswrapper driver installation tool
| which they called it “Windows Wireless Drivers”. I used a D-Link DWL-G132
| Wireless USB Adapter to test it. I downloaded the Windows driver and found
| the .inf file. I used the Ndiswrapper driver installation tool to install
| the .inf file. Right away, Linux Mint detected my wireless USB adapter and I
| am able to connect to my wireless network.

| If you thought you needed help in the past to get Ubuntu on your computer
| that has Microsoft Windows on it right now, you’ll be happy to hear that we
| have integrated a new installer that works right in Windows. Just put in the
| CD and you will automatically see the Ubuntu Setup menu, just type in your
| desired username and password and press “Install” - it’s that easy to get
| started.

| You see I've always looked upon Mint with confusion; as a derivative of
| Ubuntu I never quite understood why it existed. Sure there was a time where
| preloading codecs and software was a desirable thing but now days everyone
| has tackled that problem in different ways - thus making "out of the box"
| releases like Mint a little redundant. There are some really interesting
| things about Mint that deviate from that stereotype massively.

| Thought I would take a quick look at the latest release of Linux Mint. Linux
| Mint 4.0 KDE is just under 1.0 gig and now has to be placed on a DVD. The
| install process was easy and smooth. The LiveDVD works fine also but I
| decided to install it to my hard drive and take a few screenshots for your
| enjoyment.

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.
