Linux for your taste (sorry Naw :D) (32 Viewers)

I've been very lucky when it comes to my computer hardware. Till now, I've suffered a few failed DVD drives, couple of burnt out PSU's(due to a faulty UPS) and a hard drive failure, which I don't think is too bad, considering it didn't cost me much to get em repaired\replaced.

By replaced you mean "switch it with a harddrive at work"?

I wanted to download Peppermint Ice. Instead I ended up downloading Peppermint One. About halfway done. So I guess I'll try it instead.

No idea what you're talking about but peppermint tea is :toast:

That's unethical.

Okay, on Peppermint OS One right now. Not bad. Installed Opera first thing. The font looks funny and the cursors on the OS is weird. Overall no where as polished as Ubuntu or Mint. But this thing is fast. Very fast. I like it.

Give Mint a try, it's Ubuntu basically but with some slight changes.

i loved Mint but there was a problem with the screen size,but due to the size of the screen it would flicker every time i tried to apply new settings,same thing with update manager

gave up and went back to Ubuntu

PCLinuxOS will forever be my fave distro. Very fast and responsive and works great OOB.

But tbh, I was disappointed with their last effort. There was not much progress witjh regards to GUI. It looked hte same as PCLOS 2007.

2007 was the last one I tried, but TBH; if ain't broke, why fix it?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

True. But I like advances in technology. If something can be made better, or if something innovative and new can be added, then why not?

True that. Everyone's a sucker for eye candy.

Not just eye-candy. Like in Ubuntu 10.04, they integrated social networking a little, seeing as how people use it quite a lot these days. Little things that add to an OS's appeal.

Meh, if you ask me, all those new features and stuff are pretty much useless. But I'm not one who uses those things often though, so I can't judge really. To me the last useful thing in OS development came with multitasking.

I'm tempted to make an Apple joke based on multitasking, but I'm too drunk to make one up!
