The recent release of Linux Mint 12 has gotten quite a bit of attention. Most reviews of Linux Mint 12 have focused mainly on the GNOME 3 desktop (as pointed out in the comments of my Linux Mint 12 GNOME 3 review by reader liquidkermit). But there's another desktop environment included in Linux Mint...
The moment so many have waited for is finally here. Linux Mint 12 has been released! This update to Linux Mint has had many people on edge since it marks the move from the older version of GNOME to GNOME 3.2. GNOME 3.2, as you might already know, has had many detractors. Linux Mint...
Each time a new version of Ubuntu is released, a new version of Linux Mint quickly follows. Linux Mint 11 has just been released and it's probably the best version of Linux Mint ever. If you aren't familiar with Linux Mint then you've missed out on what is arguably one of the best desktop...
Linux Mint Debian Edition has proven to be a popular release for the Linux Mint developers. It's certainly at the top of my list of favorite distros. Linux Mint Debian edition uses the GNOME desktop and, as good as it is, it's just not right for some folks (especially those on older or slower...
Whenever a new version of Ubuntu is released, you can be sure a new version of Linux Mint will soon follow. This time around it's Linux Mint 10. Linux Mint, as you may already know, is one of the most popular Ubuntu remasters. It's known for its excellent tools, great selection of software and...
Last week I looked at the Debian version of Linux Mint. This time around I'm going to cover the Xfce version; this review was actually partly written before the release of the Debian version. I cast it aside and jumped into the Debian version, but I wanted to get this one done this week...
Each time Ubuntu is updated, we get also get another version of Linux Mint. I usually end up reviewing most of the Linux Mint derivatives of Ubuntu. This time around though, we've gotten a delightful surprise from the Linux Mint developers. A Debian version of Linux Mint! Yes, there is now a rolling release...
The last review I did of Linux Mint 9 covered the GNOME version. This week it's time to look at the KDE version. Linux Mint 9 KDE is based on Kubuntu 10.04. This release includes KDE Plasma Desktop 4.4 and Linux Kernel 2.3.2. The Linux Mint developers did a great job with this release,...
Whenever a new version of Ubuntu is released, a new version of Linux Mint soon follows. This time around it's Linux Mint 9. Linux Mint 9 is based on Ubuntu 10.04. I gave Ubuntu 10.04 a big thumbs up in my review, and I've been eagerly anticipating the release of Linux Mint 9. So how...
I've been somewhat tardy in getting to the KDE version of Linux Mint 8. But I've finally been able to sit down with it and thus couldn't resist writing a review. As great as the GNOME version of Linux Mint is, it simply isn't for everybody. Many people still prefer KDE to GNOME and...
The recent release of a major new version of Ubuntu means that it’s time for new versions of various remastered distros. This time around it’s Linux Mint 8. Linux Mint, as you may already know from previous releases, takes Ubuntu to another level by slicking it up with tools, multimedia codecs and more.
I recently reviewed the KDE and Gnome versions of Linux Mint 7. While either of them will give you a great desktop Linux experience, they aren’t necessarily the best choice for everybody. Some people have slower computers and some folks simply have no need for all the desktop bells and whistles found in KDE...
I recently took a look at the Gnome version of Linux Mint 7. That review proved to be quite popular and brought a lot of traffic to DLR. I’ve been patiently waiting for the KDE version to be finished and now it’s finally here. So I snagged a copy and gave it a whirl....
When I started my recent Linux distro review jihad back on ExtremeTech, one of the first ones I did was Linux Mint 6. I hadn’t been paying attention to Linux Mint’s development cycle or I probably would have waited because not too long after that review was done, Linux Mint 7 was released. And...
