Linux Mint 7 (XFCE) Review

[ Thanks to Jim
Lynch
for this link. ]

“Before I get into this review, please note that I used
Release Candidate 1 to do this review. While my experience was
quite good, I recommend holding off until a final version is
released. Feel free to experiment with RC1 on an extra computer, of
course. But I don’t recommend using it as your main OS until the
final release. You may encounter some bugs otherwise…

“Since this version uses XFCE the requirements should be
significantly less for a comfortable experience. If anybody knows
exactly what they are please post them in the comments section
below. Thanks.

“I had no problems with my install. It took about ten minutes or
so and it’s as easy as installing the KDE or Gnome versions. At
this point doing a Linux Mint install is pretty…ho hum. It’s
gotten that easy for the most part. Unless you run into some weird
hardware snafu you really shouldn’t have a problem installing
it.”
