Living With Daryna for One Week
Ok, ok... I know it's a little too late for a review of Linux Mint 4.0 (codename Daryna), but I was "dating" her sisters and I thought: "Why not give Daryna a chance, too?". This review has been written during an entire week, starting the 26th and ending the 30th of November. I tested Linux Mint 4.0 on a computer with the following specs:
• AMD K8 nForce 250Gb Motherboard
• AMD Sempron 2800+ Processor
• Nvdia GeForce FX5200 Video Card
• 512 MB RAM
• LG CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive
• 17" BENQ T720 Monitor
Day One: 26th Nov, 2007
So, here we are on my first day with Daryna, also known as Linux Mint 4.0. I started with the regular installation. If you’ve installed Ubuntu or an Ubuntu-based operating system before, then you would have no difficulties in installing Linux Mint as well. The installation process is very simple and straightforward; first, you select your country, then the keyboard layout, followed by the partitioning step where I have selected "Guided - Use entire disk" option (I did a fresh install, no resize) and, in the end, I've created an username. That's basically it! The whole installation took about 10 minutes. However, I didn't count them. As always, I wanted to play some Mahjongg while installing, but Linux Mint doesn't have any games installed, so I went on another computer.

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
