Running the software for a standalone printer server on the other hand probably would. +1 for razzarphenix comments, they've even got 1 up on Win7 with MKV container support ;) Edit: Forgot to mention, oddly enough this is the first time I've ever seen a linux distro successfully implement Hibernation out-of-the-box! |

| 806216 | 2009-09-02 21:15:00 | I'm trying to get Mint to talk to the internet through our proxy server, however havent had much luck with a bridged or NAT connected NIC in virtual environment on my Win 7 box, however, might need more than 10min trying...LOL! Other than that, it looks real good. |

| 806221 | 2009-09-04 00:18:00 | Writing this on a new Linux Mint install. I am reasonably impressed so far but I don't think I will use it as my only operating system. |
