HELLO

[Sobieski]

Hello.

Since this is where we introduce ourselves, then let me introduce myself:

Geeky, nerdy, Linux-loving and open source-loving Australian male, 44, single and available!! But that's not relevant here....

Actually - and most importantly - I'm one of the many Ubuntu/Unity refugees and now a relatively recent convert to Mint having been enamored since 2010 with Lucid Lynx/Gnome - which, in my opinion, was the BEST OS ever - at least for my needs. I'm now using Maya with the Mate desktop on a desktop machine with an i7 processor and 8GB of RAM. After many installs, re-installs, fiddling around and tweaking, I THINK I've finally got the system the way I like it. Despite this, a few curve balls still tend to get thrown my way.

Best,

Sobieski

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

Be sure also to check out the Community website (tutorials, hardware and software reviews, ideas). You may also be interested in staying up to date with MATE at http://mate-desktop.org/. The 1.4 release can also be added to Linux Mint, as described here: http://www.unixmen.com/install-mate-1-4 ... and-debian

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.
