Thinking about making the move from Xubuntu

[Hampton275]

I use Xubuntu/Dapper and have a had a couple of minor issues, nothing big, but I really like the philosophy that Mint has. That being said I want to make sure as many of my bases are covered as possible.
I have a dual core Intel w/2 gig mem, Nvidia 6800GT(256 mg), wireless, blah, blah.
Important programs I use. Other than the obvious:
Enlightenment, Citrix, Cisco VPN client, crypto-loop, gtkpod, konqueror, k3b and most importantly and also the major reason I am switching; CHBG!! Yes I am shallow, but I like the pretty pictures, but I also like Enlightenment which puts me in a bit of a niche market.
So all that being said, have these been tested on Mint? If so, I am sold.

Any responses for verification on running these would be great.

PS. chbg doesn't currently work in Dapper(for me) and I have had no responses to my posts, so if someone has a roughly similar system and can throw it on and let me know if chbg works, that would be great.

TIA

Go for it! Burn a copy of ver. 2.1 "Bea" beta and try it as a Live CD. I've been impressed with it so far. The final version of 2.1 comes out Dec. 20. By then you'll want to install it on your HD.

Give it a try!

my primary is actually xubuntu edgy, i have no problems with it really, although i have not tried some of your mentioned applications. what i really like with XFCE is your freedom to make your desktop (just like fluxbox).

but as davek said, go try it, it will not harm you, just make sure that you have the backup of your data. Bea is released today and i just have it in my machine for testing, thought i've been playing with LinuxMint since initial release.

IMHO, my personal consideration in choosing a main distro is actually its stability and the strong community behind it.
