Hello, I was hoping to be a Linux Mint user before I made a post. Didn't work out that way. I don't have unlimited internet so order the 64-bit Cinnamon disk from One-disk.com. The disk arrived today and when I started to check it out found out it has a bubble in the disk. So I'll have to wait until next week when I can hopefully get something done about it.

I have used RedHat, Slackware, and Gentoo in the past so I am familiar with Linux. I have just been so busy with work and school that I have not had time to put a Linux distribution on this laptop since I got it a couple of years ago.

Hi Gungholady, welcome to the Linux Mint forums Thanks for joining the forums! Sorry to hear of your problems, hope the second disc arrives without problems.

Be sure also to check out the Community website (ideas, tutorials, and hardware and software reviews), and the Cinnamon Spices website for adding even more themes, applets and extensions to Cinnamon. Also check the mintBox, the Linux Mint computer.

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.

Have fun with Linux Mint

Found out this morning that I don't have to wait until next week to be in contact with the company. My replacement disk is on the way. Can't hardly wait.
