Review: Linux Mint 8
,----[ Quote ]
| In summary, Linux Mint is really a unique
| distro, catering to a wide audience.
| People who just came from windows would
| most like feel comfortable with
| Linux Mint and Linux Mint does really work
| great with older computers They just need
| to do something about Ubiquity. The
| MintInstall software manager is really
| great, making installing applications
| really a breeze. IMHO, Mintinstall is what
| we need to break those biased opinions that
| installing software is difficult for Linux
|
| The MintUpdate is also a Plus point. Many
| new users screw their systems up through
| updates. ( especially major ones) This
| surely would help a lot. I went in with
| the opinion that Linux Mint would be just
| like any other remastered distro, but came
| out changed! Its really a great distro.
|
| I personally would recommend it to any one
| who just came out of the windowed world or
| any one who is looking for a light and
| simple system. Linux Mint 8 is really on
| the right track on making Linux user
| friendly..

Linux Mint 8.0

| Mint 8 didn't blow me away quite so much as
| their last release. It worked well as far
| as I could tell and there were some
| definite advantages to their package
| selections (lack of Evolution for one). The
| improvements to MintInstall continue to
| make it a pleasant and useful tool.
|
| I'm not going to immediately wipe my Ubuntu
| Karmic install on the laptop for this
| release of Mint. It might grow on me, but
| for now I'm happy with the parent distro.
| Maybe Mint 9 will have some must-have
| feature for me, or at least a couple of
| games. Hey, I can dream.
