Has Linux Mint Killed Distrohopping?
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in the old days, Linux used to be a tough
| cookie to get installed. It was way more
| challenging than Windows and certainly nothing
| like Mac OS X. You never really knew if it
| would work well with all of your hardware
| until you tried it. Sometimes things went
| great and other timesâwell, let's just say
| that things didn't go well at all.
|
| These days, it's more or less a snap to get
| Linux working on your computer. Oh sure, you
| may have an occasional snafu with a particular
| component, but nothing like what you used to
| run into. Linux is much better at supporting
| hardware now, and things have become much,
| much simpler.

Linux Mint 8 Fluxbox and KDE64 Editions Out Now
,----[ Quote ]
| A few minutes ago, Clement Lefebvre and the
| hard working community behind the Linux Mint
| community announced the immediate
| availability of two new editions for the
| Helena release: Linux Mint 8 Fluxbox and
| Linux Mint 8 KDE64! While the latter
| contains exactly the same amount of new
| features like the Linux Mint 8 KDE Community
| Edition, but compiled especially for 64-bit
| processors, such as Intel Core 2 Quad, Intel
| Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon X2 64, the Fluxbox
| edition is brand-new and it is powered by
| Linux 2.6.31, X.Org 7.4 and Fluxbox 1.1.1.

Why Mint over Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| I've been an Ubuntu fan for some time now.
| No matter which distro I tried, I always
| found it lacked some feature or another and
| I eventually made my way back to Ubuntu.
| Then I found Mint. Linux Mint is a
| derivative of Ubuntu which is a derivative
| of Debian (Debian' = Ubuntu and Ubuntu' =
| Linux Mint). Why use a derivative of Ubuntu
| (or Debian for that matter) instead of just
| using the original product?
|
| Simple: The derivative is better.
