Mint is the best desktop linux out there. It's basically Ubuntu+. Picked up the mantle when Mepis turned a bit too strict in their tree a few years ago and dropped it.<br><br>It's my suggestion to anyone that wants a linux that "just works". Not terribly good to learn command line on (not bad just doesn't push you there), but great if you want to avoid ever being forced into command line.<br>
<br>Also you can enable more usability flair than OSX, which makes it an easy sell too (or disable it if you don't want or find a balance between).<br><br>-B<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 12:40 PM, Tim Champion <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:timchampion@gmail.com">timchampion@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Anyone here use Mint? I've used Ubuntu, but was thinking Mint might be a bit better for home use.<br clear="all"><font color="#888888"><br>-- <br>Tim<br>Required reading: <a href="http://bccplease.com/" target="_blank">http://bccplease.com/</a><br>
