Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
I am accessing the web through my blackberry and am able to download must of the pakages I need. I was using salix 13.1.1 but was having a hard time getting basic things to work. I tried Ubuntu 10.04 didn't like the GUI. Mint seems to be the one. I would like to down load the PDF for mint if a second link could be provided. I'm not sure what information you might still need. I appreciate your time
