Bianca Beta 014 up to date (and Etch)
it depends which machine you are talking about really; at work it is XP (ick!), on my laptop it is Bianca Beta 014, on my main machine at home it is XP (waiting til Bianca Final to upgrade it) and on my testing box it is Bianca Beta 014.

Re: What are you running at home?
I currently have Bianca running on 2 machines. Recently, I reinstalled Ubuntu on one of the machines, went through 136 upgrades, in order to do a side-by-side comparison with Mint. That lasted about a day before I realized I didn't like the look and feel of Ubuntu, so I reinstalled Bianca.clem wrote:A quick poll about Linux Mint, its releases and what people are currently running.
There is no doubt that Ubuntu has set the bar for Linux Distros. Just look at the spin offs, Mint, Mepis, and now even Linspire to name a few; who can say what distro will be next. Canonical should be applauded for what it has done, not only for itself, but for the Linux community as well. But for me, at least for now, I'm sticking with Mint.
Clem, you and your associates have done a hell of a job here. I can hardly wait for the final release of Bianca.

Hello all fellow Minties,
Perhaps it would be interesting to post a link to our desktops in this topic.
And then take a poll for the most popular one.
So here is a link to my desktop. Care to vote?

Another OS whore.
Running Bianca (Doesn't feel like a Beta.) dual-boot w/ XP Media Center.
Two more copies of XP. (Hey, I need them.)
Main system is still OS X.

Re: Debian Etch as primary, 3 others besides
What you need there is the "smart" package manager. Search the web for "suse smart channel" or "smart channels" and add those to your "smart" config. If you know your ways around that it will give multimedia and everything within 15 minutes after the installation. And having a lot of choice is always a good thingcrusti wrote:openSUSE 10.2: Looks good, but needed to configure support for multimedia, and this took about a half hour or so surfing the net for info and getting the right packages chosen in the package manager. The default way of picking an app from the menu shows too many apps, and that's confusing to new users. Still evaluating this system, but I put it on hold when I became minty fresh.
I'm running the following:
HP Laptop DV200T Bea and XP (for just a couple of special music tools not available in Linux)
Aopen Laptop Ubuntu 6.10 but will to Bianca when it settles
Whitebox Atholon Bea
On my external drive:
Fedora 6 (I used Fedora for a good while) and Mepis 6 (my favourite KDE)
I'm planning to stay with Mint (unless it does something stupid).
Regards
John
