What computers have people installed Mint on.

[revmc]

I have it installed on a Dell Precision M60, 1G ram, 60G HD,
Bcm4309 wireless works with ndiswrapper.
Lexmark X1150 printer works with z600 driver
HP C5180 All-in-One connected with LAN from wife's computer
Wife's Dell dimension 2400 with MS XP Home is sharing files through Samba.

Everything works, with the exception of midi in Firefox. It is sporactic.

Homemade "test" system I built from spare parts to try and learn about Linux. Currently running Bianca.

EDIT: Now running Cassandra with XGL and the ATI fglrx driver. Nice!

Antec Aria Micro-ATX case w/300W PSU and integrated card reader
Intel D865GLCLK motherboard (865/ICH5)
Intel P4 2.4/533 CPU
1GB PC3200 (DDR400) RAM
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro (128MB)
On-board sound and Gigabit NIC
IDE1: Quantum 30GB Primary Master (hda1: boot-home/swap)
IDE2: Sony DVD burner Secondary Master
SATA1: 20GB SATA formatted FAT32 (or NTFS depending on my mood)
SATA2: Maxtor 100GB IDE with a bridge adapter (formatted ext3)
Logitech cordless keyboard & mouse
Acer AL2032W 20" wide screen LCD @ 1680x1050 resolution

Everything works including the card reader on the Aria case. I even experimented with the burner on the SATA port with the bridge adapter and it still worked fine.

Biggest issue was the Radeon 9700 Pro card which had problems with the default xorg driver. I got frequent hard locks when running the default open-source ATI driver. Didn't have this problem with some of the other distros I tried. I've also noticed the screen savers run much slower and even look different under Mint. Not sure what's up with that. After loading the current ATI proprietary 8.36.5 driver the system is pretty stable. EDIT: Works even better with XGL!

Network speed in and out of the Linux Mint box is slower than between my Windows machines. Linux says I have a gigabit connection, but I think it's running at 100 speed. Still, it connects and shares with my Windows boxes with minimal effort, which is more than I can say for some of the other distros I've tried.

I booted the Cassandra beta on a Sony VGN-C250N notebook and it ran great. Sony's 1280x800 LCD came up at the correct rez, and the networking seemed to be working (although I didn't test it thoroughly). The trackpad was fully functional, including functions like swiping up and down the side to scroll. Beryl ran great on the Sony.

I also tried it briefly on a Sony VGN-TXN15 and it seemd to run fine there as well. Didn't test all functions on the TXN, but Beryl ran nicely.

latest machine amd +3200, 1gb, 2 raptor sata @37gb, 1 ide 200gb
foxconn 6150 mobo sckt 939

Casssandra sdb replaced Feisty
Bianca sda replaced Vista
XP Pro hda

installed feisty last week on a iMac g3 500mhz 160mb mem, 20gb hdd (temp upgraded memory to 384mb to use live cd, then replaced 356mb nodule with 32mb, so open office would close without timing out)

(iMac had a total hdd failure and no Apple software, so did it as a favor (otherwise would never touch a apple product (was burned by Apple back in the days of Lisa)

[Toontwnca]

I have Mint on a Acer Aspire 5050 notebook.

1.6ghz AMD Turion64 x2 cpu.
8O gig Hitachi hd.
ATI Radeon xPress 1100 graphics.
Pioneer DVD burner.
Atheros 5005G wireless adapter.
Some sort of ATI sound; according to lspci.
ENE cardbus reader.

Everything worked right of on Cassandra.
Only glitch now is no sound on speakers
after kernel update. Will have to research that one.

Lenovo 3000 N100 with Intel Centrino Duo T2400 @ 1,83GHz, 1GB of RAM, 100GB serial ata Hard Drive, nVidia GeForce Go 7300 @ 1680x1050.
Mint 3.0 works great on it, but I've not checked the WIFI and the Bluetooth yet.

Gateway MT6705: 1.6 GHz Pentium Dual Core; 1 GB RAM; 120 GB Sata; Intel Graphics 950; RealTek 8187 Chipset for wireless; 5 in 1 card reader; DVD-+RW; 1200x800 display;

Without updates everything worked with 3.0 except the card reader. After updating HAL the card reader worked. With the 2.6.20-16 Generic Kernel, the DVD-+RW will not mount. I have removed the -16 Generic Kernel and now am going with the -15 Generic kernel only. Overall it works great!

I have installed Linux Mint Bianca KDE 2.2 and Cassandra 3.0 in my two laptops (HP Pavilion zt3050ea with no problems, everything went smoothly and HP Pavilion zv5180ea where I had to manually configure the WLAN - Broadcom bcm43xx). Great perfomance, Beryl working almost perfect.

Yes I've had no problem at all, and the price was right also.

I use Mint on my self-built Sempron64 3800+ @ 1.6 GHz with 512 MB RAM
graphics card is a Radeon 9250.

I also have a laptop for school I install Mint on it during the summer holiday. For school i have a dual boot Ubuntu / Win xp and a triple boot looks just a waste of HD space to me!

I agree the XP part is just there out the occasional work necessity and die hard family members

I dream of a day when all free people will no longer find it necessary to keep the dark power resident on a helpless computer!

Just installed Bianca on my Toshiba A70.
All is good. Everything seems to work so far.

[figueroa]

With Bianca on the Sony, I had to tweak a /etc/modules to add tifm_sd for the built in card reader to work. With Cassandra, everything major worked out of the box. Well, the modem doesn't work, and I won't pay for a the modem driver. The video out toggle Fn key doesn't work, nor do the brightness or sleep keys. Everything else works. I'm pleased.

With Cassandra on the Acer, everything tested works. Not tested were modem and Fn keys. Again, I'm pleased.

Installed on a Dell Poweredge 400SC with nvidia fx5200. Works like a dream.

SONY Vaio VGN-FS415M - Intel Pentium M 740 (1,73 GHz) >> CASSANDRA GNOME only
MSI S262-W1 - Intel Core Duo T2400 (1,83 Ghz) >> Dual Boot MS XP and CASSANDRA GNOME
DELL D 4OO >> Dual Boot MS XP and BIANCA GNOME
ASUS S6FM-1P035E - Intel Core 2 Duo L7200 (1,33 GHz) >> CASSANDRA only (after having sent Vista pre-installed to the Moon )

Everything is working perfectly

[Lolo Uila]

Main system is a home-built PC

Dual-Boot Win 2000 Pro and Cassandra

Intel P4 3.2GHz
2GB OCZ Platinum RAM (PC3200 2-3-2-5)
Gigabyte GA-8KNXP motherboard
ATI Radeon X800 XT PE (256MB)
6 IDE hard drives (2 on removable trays)
2 optical drives (BenQ DW-1640 & Yamaha CRW-F1)
2 SATA drive in RAID-0 (Windows 2000 Pro on these)
AFT Flash Card reader (reads just about everything)
Hauppauge WinTV PVR 250 tuner

Dual 19 inch monitors (LCD on DVI port & CRT on VGA)

I haven't tried the Hauppauge tuner under Linux yet, but everything else works great. I run a local gigabit network with 3 other computers through a D-Link router. Network speed is slower in Linux than Windows. Haven't tried to trouble-shoot that yet.

Aloha, Tim
