Why Linux Mint?
I received an interesting email the other day that I wanted to share with you:
Hi, Matt
Here’s another tip-of-the-cap for Linux Mint, as compared to my Ubuntu distro.I went to Yahoo! to check one of my mailboxes, and there was an interesting video being shown on the opening Yahoo! page. Well, after adding several ‘flash’ components to my Ubuntu distro, I still couldn’t show the video, and Yahoo! complained that several things needed to be upgraded, etc. before it would even offer to play. I switched over to my Linux Mint box, went to Yahoo! and the video played. My point? Linux Mint just worked, when, after several minutes of futzing, etc., Ubuntu still didn’t.

Well, I am thrilled that Linux Mint saved the day. And would agree that Ubuntu is still rough around the edges in the sense of simply giving the casual PC user a disc and telling them to “go for it.” But for anyone who has ever edited a registry, built a computer or chased down a virus, Ubuntu is really not that difficult.
