Mint, Mint
Niamh Mint
Well, the package manager for Ubuntu Jaunty Jackelope went jibbly. Twice. (Alco is still using the previous version because I didn't upgrade her, but Niamh has been in bad shape for a while.) Much backing-up and reformatting has ensued, and now I am trying out Linux Mint for him instead. So far, it's been working quite fine. It's a lot easier to work with multimedia stuff now, but I do have some problems with the way they've fiddled with Firefox search plugins, and I really, really wish I could uninstall cowsay (unfortunately, it's part of an important system package so I can't delete it). On my first login, my very first action was getting rid of the Mint-style menu and replacing it with the standard GNOME menu (Applications, Places, System)- I used Windows since I was a little kid and got over it in about a day, but I used Ubuntu for about one year and now I freak out if I don't have a panel at the top of the screen. Strange.
(Incidentally, I have to take a standardised aptitude test in a couple of days, and am currently so nervous that I can't even form a coherent metaphor. I'm just pink as a pistol!)
