I'll second (or forth) for mint debian edition. <br>
<br>
I've had some quirks, usual crap with i386 vs amd64 architecture,
libssl0.98, but most have been pretty easy to figure out with a
google search. Far less frustrating than with ubuntu, but a bit of
a new learning curve none the less with debian.<br>
<br>
One thing I haven't figured out on mint is why X will consume 32gb
of my 32gb of ram until it swaps to death on my desktop. I'm pretty
sure it has to do with the fglrx blob for amd/ati cards, but rather
annoying at the moment as it timebombs in under a week. Ubuntu
would die in 2 days with compiz enabled, or less, so I'm less
annoyed with Mint or Debian, more with AMD. <br>
<br>
Getting support out of AMD for linux seems to require an act of some
deity to fix their shite drivers. :\<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

at the Installfest, despite
cautions from Thomas, I
installed CentOS on my new
computer.<br>
<br>
The install went well from the
standpoint of reallocating the
partitions and getting Grub to
recognize both CentOS and Win 7.<br>
<br>
When I started working with it I
loaded on my files.<br>
Files that took forty minutes to
backup took two hours to load on
a faster system.<br>
The culprit seems to be
Tracker-miner.<br>
<br>
It continues to drag the system
down when I am trying to do
other things.<br>
<br>
I have no idea why I need an
application on here to,
supposedly help me find files.<br>
In all of the years I have
worked with Linux I can think of
only three instances where I
have used find to locate a file,
and it worked nicely, thank you.<br>
<br>
Now I have a system that uses
all of its resources to track
files I will likely never ask
for. Grrrrrrrr.<br>
<br>
After that the change of Gnome
and KDE to eliminate my virtual
desktops is unimportant.<br>
<br>
Would anyone like to suggest a
better distro that will actually
run and perhaps has more than
four desktops, while running
Office Libre, and plays You Tube
videos in a browser?<br>
