Re: My initial observations of LMDE
Posted: Sat Nov 13, 2010 10:52 am
For me LMDE is fine and stable. I'm experimenting with it for about a month now.
I also had the 'keyboard-issue' and nVidia getting to work was not very smooth.
But I didn't have any real problem so far and LMDE does grow in its role (updates).
The Gnome panels need some updating. They disappear from time to time. I've seen it too in
other distro's and Mint 8. No big deal. One time ^alt-delete and 'cancel' and they are back.
This was a fantastic tip:

I have set LMDE to squeeze and did a sync.

And this is not a third release, not a second, it is the first.
I think Clem and crew have done a great job. Thanks a lot for a fine peace of software,
which will last a little bit longer than 6 months.
