| 1294004 | 2012-08-11 00:07:00 | tried it and quite liked it, might make the full switch one day. It is a pretty good out of the box distro | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1294005 | 2012-08-11 01:02:00 | have used version 7 in the past and liked it, have not tested the current version yet. i think its up to 13 | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 1294006 | 2012-08-12 05:23:00 | Seeing you have brought it up. I thought I would try it out recently. I was concidering putting it on my home theatre media centre but ran into problems. It is a AMD Sempron 3100 with 2 GB ram, currently running XP Pro without any problems. I tried Ubuntu 12.04, Linux Mint 13 & Lubuntu 12.04. Same result with all. System would freeze when I tried to change anything. Even in the demo mode. Curser would disappear & system would freeze. Would then have to reboot. Tried a variety of solutions with no difference. Different ram Different Hard Drive Different DVD drive Different ribbon cables Different mice, USB & PS/2 I had made DVD's of all the distros & have since tried all on a 3rd system & they all go ok. What I saw of the mint13 was excellent & it would be my choice of the three. Would still like to get it on the media centre if anyone has any ideas. |

I have transferred the image to harddrive Takes less than a minute to install and works perfectly on my AMD based system By the way; am trialling Mint 13 with Cinnamon. Quite liking it Few minor issues (based around the fact I have an AMD grafix card) but other than that all good |

| 1294009 | 2012-08-12 21:31:00 | I use it, have tried a *lot* of different distros, and it's always seemed to be the one I come back to in the last couple of years | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1294010 | 2012-08-12 23:47:00 | I may look at the openelec.tv for the media centre but it won't boot from USB I looked at Cinnamon & Mate. Would have to spend more time using them to choose. Did either of you guys have any sucess networking with windows. |

| 1294011 | 2012-08-13 00:15:00 | I've tried the latest Ubuntu and Kubuntu and of the two liked Kubuntu better, would MINT be better for a relative Linux noob like myself? I'm looking for a distro that will work well on a eeePC netbook with a 700Mhz celeron and 1GB of RAM |
