Thread: Are there any Linux Mint users out there ?

I've been using Mint for about 5 years now (IIRC) and love it.
Never had so much as a hiccup and can't see myself changing to another platform.
I'm currently on LM 17 "Qiana" (Long Term Support Release).

I started with Fedora 5 whenever it was that was current. Some years ago. Steadily moved on through various releases of Ubuntu on to Mint. Now happily using mint 17. I've got a laptop with windows 7 installed for certain applications, but Linux is my main wheel.

I haven't found any of the brands you & Jimmy are talking about, but I got these at the Wal-Mart, in the wedding accessory section,,, and they are pretty darn good,,

Was using bodhi linux, based on ubuntu I think for about 4 years until computer took a dump. Looking for a replacement comp but will never go back to windoze. Haven't looked at mint but will now.

Grazor,

I'm not particularly "Linux or computer literate" but this works for me.

Tried Linux red hat in the late 90s and it was too geeky for me, but the speed and problems with various windoze OS drove me crazy. Installed Bodhi and not 1 problem in 4 years.

Hirlau, you should install Ubuntu Linux, it has a built in AC diagnostic app....

Thanks ,,,, headed to Home Depot tomorrow to get it,,, gonna write it down so I get the right model,,,

I've been using CrunchBang Linux on my media server for the past 3 / 4 years and have never had a single issue.

CrunchBang was a small distribution which used to be based on Ubuntu but moved over to Debian around 3 years or so ago. Unfortunately though, the maintainer is no longer supporting the distribution and some of the users have converted a lot of repos and although still based on Debian, have renamed it now to BunsenLabs. The CrunchBang forums though are still active.

I still need to find the time to convert my installation over to BunsenLabs.
