Rate Content: vs 1 Document Name: Linux Mint is....Mint! Document Description: LAST WEEKEND I POSTED AN ARTICLE CALLED DELL DIMENSION 4300S. THE INSTALL WAS A PIECE OF CAKE. MINT USES THE SAME 6 STEP INSTALL PROCESS THE THE INTERFACE IS AS REFRESHING AS ITS NAME AND ADDING ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE PACKAGES IS AS EASY TO DO AS INSTALLING SOFTWARE ON WINDOWS. IN ADDITION TO THE VARIOUS PACKAGE MANAGERS THAT ARE AVAILABLE, MINT OFFERS THE SOFTWARE PORTAL. THIS IS A WEB SITE FOR MINT USERS THAT ALLOWS YOU TO SELECT AND INSTALL PACKAGES JUST LIKE WINDOWS. HERE ARE SOME SCREEN SHOTS OF THE EASIEST

I WAS GOING TO INCLUDE VARIOUS OTHER SCREEN SHOTS BUT DELL INSPIRON 1721 (AMD ATHLON 64X2 DUAL-CORE TK-53, 1 GB RAM, 64 BIT). ONLY MEPIS, KUBUNTU, AND PCLINUXOS WAS ABLE TO INSTALL ON IT. THE OTHERS, INCLUDING MINT ALL FAILED ON THIS LAPTOP. ON THE 32 BIT MACHINES, EVERY DISTRO EXCEPT SUSE WORKED FOR ME. SO NOW MY NETWORK NOW CONSISTS OF 1 VISTA, 1 XP, 2 MEPIS, 1 KUBUNTU, AND 1 MINT. I AM KEEPING VISTA AROUND TO SEE WHAT SERVICE PACK 1 WILL DO. BESIDES, STRUGGLING WITH VISTA GIVES ME A LOT TO BLOG ABOUT!
