Subject: Re: Ubuntu, KDE interface
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 theirs, i don't know, and
don't care.
