Returning to Linux, Round 2...Mint
,----[ Quote ]
| I always likes the ideas within Mint...make
| a good package better by adding little
| features and taking out what isn't
| necessary. I remembered from the day that
| everything just worked. Websites played
| flash, video on DVD would play with audio,
| documents opened without too much effort or
| downloading extras. So what else is here
| that most people would like to know about?

| Their computer was then taken over by a
| botnet and started spewing spam left, right
| and center. Which I found out about a month
| or so later.

| Knowing what sort of computer user type
| this person is I decided to make sure I
| chose the right distribution for them.
| After careful thought and a bit of google
| trolling (in the searching sense of the
| word) I decided to give Linux Mint a go. So
| I backed up their computer and settled down
| to install Mint.

| This is the latest story on how a "typical"
| computer user made a seamless transition
| from windows to Linux. Do you have any such
| stories? What about the other way around?
| :) While I had no problems transitioning
| this person doesn't mean that there are
| none. What issues have you come up with
| when introducing people to Linux?

Ubuntu vs. Linux Mint

| I recently heard the comparison that Mint
| today is a lot like Simply Mepis was years
| ago, and I feel its accurate. Barring my
| personal lack of hardware support (this
| included fan control which is vital on a
| metal Macbook), Iâve heard great things
| including more extensive printer support, and
| after using it for a little bit I felt that
| aside from the menu, that I think might in
| fact be harder for a new user, Mint is a good
| distribution.
