[Junabrown]

this is worse then me waxing my balls and watchinig chariots of fire

[patrick10001]

2 bad kde and E17 are so buggy..

[Frakshaw44]

........17 ? this is 2009 and mint is only to 7, you must be a time traveler, please tell what the california lotto numbers are for june20 2009 mr. time traveler.

[patrick10001]

LOL idiot :P.. E17 =  Enlightment.. :P

[Moldovanus]

Hope you get kpdf working . I have tried in order to check because i haven't used the feature from the 7.4 release but i could'nt make it run not even on kde4. It was replaced by Okular in 4. Okular has text to speech in tools but for me the option remains shaded.

And for the network problem, can't help you . I have problems to with it.From GNOME not leeting me to specify the default gateway to kde 4 having 2 network managers working at once. Unfortunately, no stable linux exists.

You should include the cost of the all the anti-virus, security and Identity Theft protection software that a user would need to pay for---things that would come free out of the box with a Linux distro.

But also, to be balanced and fair, mention that no Linux distro has speech to text software yet (I hope I'm wrong!). And also, I cannot find text to speech software for Linux either, especially something that can read out .pdf pages to me.

[Moldovanus]

Kpdf has text-to speech. I think it's the default KDE pdf reader, but can be run also on other desktop environments.

[saffronix]

Great! Thanks for that. I'll try Kdpf on my gnome desktop.

My computer, a Dell Latitude D600 laptop, doesn't seem to like KDE at all, so I'm forced to use Gnome.

But here's another question (please): My Ubuntu 8.10 desktop set up frequently disconnects from the Network. Usually a reboot fixes it, but not always, and it's inconvenient to have to reboot.

I've tested my ADSL connection with a MacOSX 10.5 box and a Dell Inspiron 600m on Ubuntu 8.10 and they don't keep disconnecting.

Help!

isnt e17 pre alfa?

e17 rules!!!!!!!

[z2produtions]

i used mac and windows im about to be using mint 5 any tips for a new linux user?

[Trixilver]

Avoid ATI graphics cards

[dinanj]

this is seconded by me. they still work, but ati still has a bug in their drivers which can make it run the drivers twice, if you have a good amount of memory, then It would not matter.

[bluetickhound7]

Do you still have the Linux Mint e17 iso image file?

[mint17art]

Linux Mint E17 was not released. The developer has deleted and started from scratch using Ubuntu Gusty. There is no point of using the mint provided advantages in E17 because most of them don't work and the only one that might be useful is Mintinstall, but LSI is far better- tuxsoftware(dot)com . The only reason I think people would want Mint + E17 is if they want a forked version of Ubuntu. Mint = forked ubuntu Edgy. Maryan Linux will provide codecs and LSI so just use Maryan once released

[bluetickhound7]

Ok then, but what is that font?

[dinanj]

I think oz os is the best ubuntu+e17 distro I would look into that if you really want to use e17

[meox45]

nice video did you actually make these? also i think i'll stick with linux mint main edition.. thanks though

[mint17art]

No problem,

Linux is about freedom :)

[extr3m]

Too bad that the project was droped, I really want to use that distro =/

[mint17art]

It hasn't been dropped, check the new info on the 'About This Video' on the right.

Cheers,

What did you use to make this video?

[mint17art]

Cyberlink Powerdirector

[darthchaosofrspw]

I currently have Linux Mint 4.0 XFCE Community Edition installed, and it's the best Linux I've come across because it meets my need for speed. And I just installed E17 on here and am currently using one of your wallpapers. It's a lot better than gOS. I'll be raving about this on my MySpace blog at myspace(dot)com(slash)darthcha­osofrspw

[yogajuan]

so, will this be available in the repositories, so that we can add it as a session? I've just installed geubuntu on top of daryna, but i would gladly replace it with this!

[mint17art]

It is not available on the repositories, the Ubuntu repos and Mint repos, because it is a community edition. The only possible way to install it from live CD/DVD. Sorry for any inconvenience my friend.

Cheers,

The Mint E17 Team

[yogajuan]

oh pity! i think i'll still install it on my desktop pc, though. thanks for the info.

[Junabrown]

this is a horrible video..it makes me not wanna get this at all.

[mint17art]

Sorry about you not being eager to get this distro after watching this video. I made it for people to be aware that it is coming out soon and for people to not dump E17 if they've not seen an E17 distro they are happy with. I have not seen an easy to use e17 distro that is polished and stable and that is why I have started this project. When the promo video comes out, I am sure you will want it after watching it.

Cheers,

The Mint E17 Team

[tumblz]

dark and light wallpapers?

wtf?

[mint17art]

There will be three themes: - The Dark Theme

 - The Light Theme - The Minimalistic Theme

These Dark and Light Wallpapers were made to suit the certain theme. That is why they are there. If you want anymore info check the website on the more info part of this video to know more about this release.

Cheers,

mint17art,

A couple of things. I did get your video responses to one my Linux Mint videos, but for some reason it is not showing up. I'd like to add your video response, but I've checked everything, but no luck!

Great video! I see that you like Linux Mint like me. How did you recording the Desktop?

[mint17art]

Go on the youtube help at the top right corner. Then type on the search bar video response and check the second result. If that doesn't solve it check some other results and then if that doesn't work ask me again. I appreciate your comment.

Cheers,
