Linux Mint 7 Review

Linux Mint's purpose was always to be a very user-friendly, simple, and up to date Linux and GNU desktop distribution. Besides being based on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope (and early on, really just a variant of Ubuntu with integrated media codecs, and Linux 2.6.28, it also incorporated the highly popular open source technology of Gnome 2.26, and Xorg 7.4.

Linux Mint 7 (Gloria)

So far everything has been running smoothly with the only minor issue I have is that sometimes, things seem to load slowly like Firefox for example. This could be attributed to some of the addons so I’m going to check those by eliminating them one by one to see if there’s a difference.

Linux Mint 7 ScreenShots

Here we bring you yet another set of Screen Shots, but this time it is of Linux Mint 7 ( Gloria ). Let me start off by saying this... I've been using/managing Linux for almost 11 years now and I want a desktop that just works.. I am so out of that phase on making things work together ( Unless it is programming ). Linux Mint has done that for me, so I really want to say THANK YOU to Linux Mint Staff and Users for all the work you guys have done and for taking the time to make my life easier.

Review: Linux Mint 7

Overall, I'm very impressed with Linux Mint 7.  It's once again outdone itself and easily holds the title as one of the best new user distributions out there.  When I first loaded it up, I was worried that they had reached their pinnacle and Mint 7 would be their first step down as every distro does after a while.  Some just sooner than others. But nope, Mint 7 is still climbing the mountain to bigger, better, greater, faster, and more awesome than all of it's predecessors.  It's always encouraging to see a distro always getting better, despite how good it was before.

Getting to the root of Ubuntu.

Well I am one of those who went to Debian after using Ubuntu, Kubuntu to be exact. In my case I did a complete reinstall from scratch. Just the other day as I was squeezing my personal installation into the latest testing mold it struck my mind that if I could do this sort of work easily with aptitude then why not try and convert Ubuntu to Debian.

Linux Mint 7 released

Clement Lefebvre from the Mint development team has announced the release of Linux Mint 7 (code named Gloria). Linux Mint is an Ubuntu-based distribution that aims to be user friendly and provide a more complete out-of-the-box experience by including support for DVD playback, Java, plug-ins and media codecs. The release is based on Ubuntu 9.04 (aka Jaunty Jackalope), the 2.6.28 Linux Kernel, X.org 7.4 and GNOME 2.26.

Linux Mint 7 "Gloria" - It Just Keeps Getting Better

There are other Mint utilities, such as mintBackup and mintNanny, but the bottom line is, if you are looking for a solid Linux distribution, you can't do better than Ubuntu, and if you want it to be better packaged and easier to use, then Linux Mint is definitely worth a look.

Sooner (Linux Mint 7), Later (Fedora 11) and Now (ooVoo 2.1)

It looks like Linux Mint will be making their next release, 7 or "Gloria", in the next few days, according to the Linux Mint Blog. This is good news, because the new release is based on Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope", which means you will get OpenOffice 3, and quite a few other nice updates. Of course, there are lots of Mint-specific updates as well, many of which look very nice. I've been running the Release Candidate for a couple of weeks now, and it is very good.
