  • I've used many flavors of Linux and I always fall back to vanilla Debian (been using Debian since 1998, Slackware before that since 1995). But I'm impressed with Mint 9 and have that installed on my little netbook and it runs beautifully, Deb on my PC broke because I upgraded to unstable and updates stalled and couldn't finish and now I can't get into login LOL.

    I have Win 7 on a SSD and it boots in 12 seconds, Linux on a SSD would boot very fast but not a good idea due to constant writes.

  • @sookster54 Wow, you've been using linux for a while. It's only been 14 months for me and I've tried to use Debian but quite honestly, it just doesn't seem like the distro for me. Maybe I'll like it more when I learn more and more about linux. I'm running PClinuxOS right now. Great implementation of KDE4 I must say. Yeah, same thing happened to me when I upgraded to rawhide in Fedora.

  • linux mint 8 is better than ubuntu. it is ubuntu +bugfixes +cedecs/slash/java. why stick with ubuntu?

  • I have both 9.10 and Mint 8, and I have a lot more fun with Mint, because it's got a lot more programs and features out of the box. I just wish Mint was the most popular distro.

see all
