I have ubuntu on my desktop. I also have one of those little acer aspire one netbooks 512Mb and 8Gb SSD on whichI'm currently using a distro called Kuki Linux- which works pretty well (It's designed specifically with the Acer in mind) however as I don't really keep anything of note on the computer it makes it suitable for trying out new stuff on. Do you know if Mint might run OK on such a machine? Hi. I have ubuntu on my desktop.

I had wondered about the theme and am glad to see it's available for more than just Mint users. I actually adore this theme and like it much more so than the default Ubuntu 9.04 theme. It's one of the reasons Mint looks so tasty! Good looking out. I had wondered about the theme and am glad to see it's available for more than just Mint users.

I think most people would find it hard to believe but given distros like Mint it's more than plausible. Best of luck! That is very cool to hear, that a stay ah home Mom is a Linux user.

With these distros I think Linux is almost there. Indeed they are, especially with such a polished interface like Mint. With these distros I think Linux is almost there.

I'm a fairly new Linux user. Mint made the switch virtually painless. Now that I'm here, I'm enjoying learning CLI and talking with the Linux experts. Who would have known that a stay at home mom from the southern united states could learn to do so many awesome things with her computer. Very blessed to be a Mint user :) I love Mint.
