Linux Mint: Ubuntu plus stuff you probably want
,----[ Quote ]
| It will obviously take some time to explore Linux Minut, but after just a
| couple of hours, I find it to be very promising. If you like Ubuntu, but you
| want it a bit more refined and polished, and you are tired of having to
| download and install a bunch of stuff yourself, Linux Mint could be just the
| ticket for you.

First Look: Linux Mint 6 KDE
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux Mint is one of those distributions that have always been dear to me.
| With truly dedicated developers and a strong, faithful community, Mint
| reached, in only a few years, a very high level of popularity. Being based on
| Ubuntu, Linux Mint complements it by providing an elegant look as well as a
| full, out-of-the-box, multimedia experience. That said, seeing the Linux Mint
| 6 KDE Edition announcement, I thought it would be a great opportunity to
| check on Mint's progress and, for once, try the KDE version.

Back to the Future
,----[ Quote ]
| Yeah. That's Linux, specifically Linux Mint 5 (Elyssa) based on Ubuntu 8.04.
| Running from the Mint 5 Live CD. After reading about the troubles another
| user had with Mint 6 and his move from Mint 6 back to Mint 5, I decided to
| download the Mint 5 ISO and boot europa with it.
|
| And it's amazing. Everything. Just. Bloody. Works. Everything.
