New to linux

[vsmandy]

I am new to linux. I have tried three different distros. First I used jolicloud, which was ok, but most of the time you had to be online for anything to work. Then I tried Umbuntu 12.04, but natalus would keep freezing up, so now I have linux mint Lisa, and I must say so far I have found it the best of the three. To bad I did not find this on first. I dumped Windows 7 because my netbook was slowing down to a crawl. Most of this happened after windows updated for the 1,000,000Th time. I plan on staying with linux mint for the long haul. The install was a lot better than the other two, and I did not have to tweak anything to make it work.

Keep up the good work!

Hi Victor, welcome to the Linux Mint forums Thanks for joining the forums!

Be sure also to check out the Community website (ideas, tutorials, and hardware and software reviews), and the Cinnamon Spices website for adding themes, applets and extensions to Cinnamon (and check out the Cinnamon Extras package, which will install a lot of these for your automatically). If you haven't installed Cinnamon, see here the most recent update for a teaser.

You can also chat in real-time with other Linux Mint users. In the Mint Menu, in the Internet section, start the application XChat IRC. You will automatically get connected to #linuxmint-chat for general chat and #linuxmint-help for support with other Linux Mint users.
