Hi Everyone

After a long, long time involving much heartache, frustration and downloading, my search is over!
I've made a page, outlining my adventures:

http://tony.smith01.googlepages.com/home

I hope it gives newcomers some information and pointers, and I'd like to just thank Clem and the Mint team for enabling me to find something I thought I'd never be able to - a real replacement to Windows.

Look forward to the future with you all,

Tony, Duxford (Nr. Cambridge, UK)

Welcome aboard Tony@DuxfordUK,

Your site is interesting. You, like most of us Mint converts, have very good reasons to switch to Linux.
I hope you won't miss all that malware , spyware and virus hunting.
Over here we don't even have a fox-hunting event.

I will request Clem to start at least a duck-hunting program here. :lol:

Cheers old mate,
Npap

The path sounds relatively familiar, to my quest for a widows replacement. The quest lead me here and it is a very satisfying journeys end. I have pointed several co-workers and associates in other countries to Mint, and they too are switching over to the fresh Mint flavor of the many Linux distributions that we can choose from.

I too prefer Gnome, but found that the Mint KDE desktop was by far the most impressive.

Many Thanks to Clem and the team. Here's to a great future - Cheers!

I've only just begun using Mint (i.e., today

), but already I'm finding it to be among my favorite Linux distros. I may not be switching over from Windows (I've got Mint running in VMware), but I can certainly see why so many would. From the moment I got the LiveCD running I was surfing the 'net, chatting with friends, and listening to music on Pandora. This is not only a keeper for me, but also something I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.

Many thanks to the dev team...I can't wait to see what the future holds for Mint! :wink:
