Greetings from sunny California.

Hey there. For the first time I'm running a non Windows operating system. I got tired of Windows 7 on my acer 5532 laptop. It just kept freezing whenever i would have at least two browser windows open, and especially if I were playing a game in one of those windows, so i figured i should go for something lighter, and enlisted my brother to help me out. So far, i prefer it over windows, and with any luck, it will turn out to be a good decision.

Welcome to the Mint community. Californians are welcome as far as I'm concerned (I grew up in L.A.)
