Thanks for the review.

I tried Mint7 but it wouldn’t recognise my videocard/monitor and defaulted to 600X800 and wouldn’t let me change it. (unless i hacked my xorg.config file and that’s outside my comfort zone)
Strangely Ubuntu 9.04 installed just fine! I thought they were based on each other and the video recognition routines would be the same. Apparently not!

Linux Mint is what Ubuntu should be, period. I like my distros easy to use and maintain, and Mint doesn’t disappoint one bit. Why spin your wheels fiddling when you can use your time to actually enjoy your system.

I’m a huge fan of KDE. However, Linux Mint’s Gnome is absolutely delicious. I left it intact. It looks great and is very usable. I love the artwork in Mint, too.

If you’re even thinking of Ubuntu at all, try Linux Mint instead. If you’re an Ubuntu user, try Linux Mint. You won’t look back, I promise…

f you chose Ubuntu because it does most of the things for you, take Mint for a spin. It does everything, you can just sit back, relax and if you chose Ubuntu because it does most of the things for you, take Mint for a spin. It does everything, you can just sit back, relax and have a few evil laughs in your secret control tower

Don’t use Linux Mint. The creator of Linux Mint is a Jew hater.

[...] Linux Mint 7 Review, Screenshot Tour and Love All in all, Linux Mint 7 is going to be my main machine from now on, at least until I get my claws on another unsuspecting distribution. It is a distribution I spent very little time customizing and I have a pretty specific setup. Flash was there, Gnome Do was there, the GNOME bar was already on the bottom of the screen, I liked the icon theme. Linux Mint is the Ubuntu cake with some extra-delicious icing. The icing doesn’t make it slow, just better. Way better than vanilla Ubuntu. So, if you chose Ubuntu because it does most of the things for you, take Mint for a spin. It does everything, you can just sit back, relax and have a few evil laughs in your secret control tower. Minty fresh. [...]

@Yeeeev: 1. I didn't state it was made only for Mint 2. But yes, it was unknown to me that it wasn't started by the Mint Team. Thanks, going to correct this.
