Review: Linux Mint 6
I reviewed Linux Mint 5 Light back in July 2008. Since I wasn’t using VirtualBox at the time, I only tested it as a LiveDVD and that may have been the source of some of my problems testing the software installation. Plus this time I can review the installation process.
The desktop hasn’t changed much from Linux Mint 5. They still have the menu bar at the bottom. Same slick background. I did notice they now have Gnome Do. Gnome Do is a pretty neat technology that I hope to review a bit once I’ve played with it a little.
Alright, time to see what this installation process is like. The first few questions were easy - language, timezone, keyboard. The partition screen looks pretty slick. Perhaps they’re using some Cairo there.
