I like the look of Mint. What I like best though is how snappy the UI is: compiz has been very sensibly configured. It really makes me more productive.

i was impressed with mint also, at work, a dude asked me what i would advise him to run, i rememberred linux mint’s interface from some video i watched somewhere, and told him to try that [and also i would have liked to see how it was].

So he did, and i was positively surprised.

Now, am not gonna change my freebsd at all .. but am surely thinking of using that mint theme, already started searching today and have been installing compiz etc making the box ready for the mint candy look

Je suis 100% d’accord avec toi. Tout “geek” doit passer par une phase Gentoo (je fus un Gentooien pendant deux ans.) Linux Mint s’adresse à un public plus large. Sincèrement, Mint est peut etre la distribution idéale pour les non-geeks.

Désolé … mais s’il ne faut pas en baver un minimum pour installer linux … Il n’y a plus de plaisir … je ne lâcherai pas ma gentoo.

Le Geek vivra !

I moved from Ubuntu to Mint about six months ago and I don’t regret it. The differences between the two are enough to make Mint subtly better. You have all the advantages of the large Ubuntu user base and support with all the additional features and eye-candy Mint provides. The main thing I like is that Mint does not follow that sx-month release thing Ubuntu has got going on. So with Mint you are sure that you will be getting a thoroughly tested release, which will include the bug fixes which may be required for Ubuntu. However I may just switch to the next Ubuntu release as soon as it is out to see if it will really boot faster.
