    Mint is nice, but when I put it on this machine about one in three
    times it would not recognize the USB keyboard and mouse. Damned
    difficult to log in under those circumstances. After this happened
    three times on one boot I decided there was a problem. Mine or

                          The reason is an echo Pa Kettle's noting of
                          problems with Ubuntu.<br>
                          <br>
                          In my case, it is manifests every time I boot
                          Ubuntu and it tells me it had a problem that
                          must be reported. he problem, according the
                          message, which I am paraphrasing as
                          Unity-settings-utility has had a problem. When
                          I did a web search I find that problems with
                          this interface have existed for four or five
                          years. Seems that they either aren't
                          interested, or aren't capable of fixing it.
                          Perhaps the utility needs to be replaced with
                          something else that will work. <br>
                          <br>
                          Ubuntu has also mandated that I install an
                          extra external fan as its demands on the
                          system as it seems that it heats the whole
                          system up to the point where it locks and
                          becomes totally unresponsive.<br>
