Linux Mint 8 Helena - Superb execution
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux Mint 8 Helena is a wonderful creation.
| It works. It simply works. There can be no
| higher praise than that. You don't need to
| tweak it. It's a product. As simple as that.
| Someone is given a machine with Linux Mint
| Helena and they start using it, without going
| for the surgery knife. Just as you don't hack
| your TV, you don't need to hack Helena,
| because it delivers a complete, beautiful
| usage package.
|
| Linux Mint 8 Helena is a great distribution.
| This is the Linux you want to showcase to your
| skeptical Windows friends and soon would-be
| converts. This is the distribution that has
| the look and feel and behavior of something
| Windows users can easily relate to.
|
| It has the menu where Windows users want it,
| it has codecs and gadgets, it's fast, stable,
| robust, beautiful. And best of all, if you're
| a Linux user already, you can enjoy Helena as
| much as your fellow Windows friends!

Review: Linux Mint 7 KDE
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall I like Mint 7 KDE. The use of KDE 4.2 is
| good, but it leaves you wanting a bit more. And
| that's in no way the fault of Mint. It's just the
| fact that KDE4 is still maturing. But as for the
| things that are controllable by Mint, everything
| is in great shape with no noticeable flaws that I
| could find.

Linux distro mints "Gloria" KDE release
,----[ Quote ]
| For those interested in a non-Linuxer point of view, Bruno Dieter Chan offers
| his thoughts in a July 28 review on TopTechNews, and they are, well,
| luke-warm. After praising the distro for playing all his multimedia files,
| for offering a good web-browsing experience, and for providing reasonably
| fast 30-second boots, the complaints kick in.
|
| The reviewer was disappointed in the lack of QuickTime support, as well as
| some movie "shudder" effects when he tried to use "restricted drivers for my
| ATI 4850 graphics card." He also groused over having to download a driver for
| his Creative X-Fi card, and then noted that it output audio through the
| motherboard instead of the X-Fi's jack. Also, apparently, Mint 7 didn't
| support plug-and-play with his Canon A400 or fully support his Sansa player.
|
| "Overall, Mint 7 offers most of the software that an average user needs,"
| concludes Chan. "Though I have issues with the OS, it still can be used as
| a 'light' desktop OS. But if you're going to do more than just Web browsing,
| then it would be better to stick with Mac OS or Windows."

Linux Mint 7 KDE
,----[ Quote ]
| All in all, Linux Mint is a fusion between the usability and tools of Linux
| Mint with the elegance of the KDE desktop. Iâm not a great fan of KDE, but
| the Linux Mint tools certainly help to put this distro above the rest.

Distro Hoppin`: Linux Mint 7 KDE Edition
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux Mint 7 KDE is a worthy addition to the Linux Mint family and is much,
| much better than the previous KDE release. I still prefer the main GNOME
| version over it, but there's definitely an ascending path going on. Oh, and
| with the 4.3.0 version of KDE just released, I can't wait until Linux Mint 8!
