Hello Clem,
I noticed that the Bianca release is not announced, and though Mint has gone up on the popularity scale, the LInuxMint page still shows LInuxMint 2.2 beta but no final release.

On the page where the new releases are posted. For example:
Development Release: Ubuntu 7.04 Alpha 4
Development Release: Ubuntu 7.04 Alpha 4
I sent two emails to Ladislav (distrowatch's maintainer) with links to the announcement, release notes and download pages but haven't heard from him yet. The first email was sent yesterday and the second one this morning. He's probably very busy or having problems with his email.. let's hope he'll fix that problem, there's nothing we can do about it.

John,
There is a cool utility for downloading and installing ATI and Nvidia drivers included in Mint. It is called Envy. There are a couple of threads about in the forum, but the short version is you run envy from a terminal as root and it will take care of setting up your video for you. I used it on an Nvidia machine last night and it worked perfectly!

Hello everybody,
I don't see why anybody may have a problem with downloading or installing Bianca stable release.
Try burning your Iso at a slow speed, like 8KBbps, DAO mode in K3b.
I installed it to my hard disc in Greek Everything runs like a clock.

Finally got it and had time to install it.
at first g parted messed up my partitions but i straightened it out.
i am still however having the same problem as before. as soon as bianca started for the first time it was amazing, fast, and i just plain liked it. more importantly, my internet worked.
but once again, directly after updating it, no more wireless.
this is the only problem keeping me from using mint as my main operating system. if i cant get it working today, and maybe tomorrow im switching back to ubuntu. ill just download mintmenu, and mint disk lol..
otherwise, keep up the good work! i really liked the new wallpapers, and mintmenu seemed alot smoother. i didnt like that mintdisk wouldnt work when i ran it live.

i am already in love with linux mint, but as i said, although i am now 38 y now, i like pc gaming alot, so i had to stick to win in that way
i havent followed this wine emulation stuff that much, so is that a way to get rid of MS or not ? not completely i doubt ?

No matter how old we are, there's the child in us who loves to play.
I have tried Wine and found out it worked in some cases, but not always.
Maybe a newer version, with bugs taken out, will work better.

I installed wine through automatix as i wanted to run the echolink programme for ham radio, i had previously tried the linux version but just could not get it too work, anyway with wine installed i downloaded echolink for windows and ran the installer, it works great using that programme, i have not tried other progs as this is all i need personally

imho i htink there will be no way to get to run the newer Win games, esp. Directx 10 games, therefore i confess i bougth a win vista ultimate sb version
there is no way to describe my regrets to have done that, in german there is an idiomatic expression, to throw out money thru the window, because thats what i did...
so i have a winxp, a vista and a partition with mint in my system, maybe as iam getting older the play instinct is getting less, so everthing i want to do is surf the I and stuff, and then i dont need anymore this scrap...
greetings again and excuses to all for my extensive blah-blah
