Felicia is running very well, it's loaded on one of my laptops and my Workstation at work. All apps run well including NeroLinux and VMWare 6.5 Workstation, just waiting for it to be released on 64 Bit so I can upgrade my home Desktop

Here's a screenie of my laptop :cool:

Will this version work perfectly out-of-the-box with these new netbooks?

They have made a huge impact on Linux-sales, and I guess there is a huge amount of both new and old Linux users who wants a more complete Linux experience than the experience that comes with the distros of these netbooks.

I have a Acer Aspire One (a100 I guess), I've tried Live-USB on it and it did not seems to me that the wireless network card was working. Of course is it possible to install the Windows driver or find some other solution, but a lot of people would probably like to have support for this out-of-the-box.

From Mint3 on, I always was full of joy with the next step. Lately I mistrusted 32bit-versions on a 64bit DC cpu, especially *buntu's, but Felicia is the exception: I had a swift install.
And everything worked as it should. Everything I think is important, that is. Thanks again to the crew. The only competitor is easiness is, I think, PClinuxOS 2008 GNOME.

Yeah I know what you mean, I don't like any of the "buntu's" myself. Mint reworks Ubuntu into a very nice distro. Even though I've highly recommended and converted a good number of people over Mint I stuck with Gentoo 64 Bit on my main rig. I've found 64 Bit to be much more stable than 32 Bit, now that Elyssa has a 64 Bit I tried it out a couple of weeks ago. I'm now running it on my main rig and I'm very happy with it. I've also been running RC 1 on my work station at work along with my laptops, very sweet and will be upgrading my main rig at home when the 64 Bit is released.

As I tell others, there's really no one single wow with Mint or with Mint's upgrades. There's just a number of subtle changes that makes Mint IMO the most "Polished" Distro I've found.

If i move the mouse over the menu the text flashes up for an instant. I have 3d drivers installed, nvidia driver ver. 96, Card is a MX440 AGP4x. I don't know why its like that. My system is a clean install, I deleted everything but my files in home partition and reformatted root partition. This is the only probmem I have had so far. I am fairly new to linux, it could be my fault but it looked normal in Mint 5.

Thanks for a great os
I had the same Opera menu missing text problem. I was also using visual effects (compiz), 3D nVidia drivers (v96) and have an nVidia GF4 Ti4200 card. That seemed to be the cause. I briefly had the issue in OpenOffice 2.4 also, but it went away after a re-boot ... go figure. However, no amount of tweaking or re-booting would fix the Opera menu issue - I had to turn off visual effects to fix it (which it did, immediately).

Otherwise Linux Mint 6 is bloody great!
