Could people who are sucessfully running Linux Mint (any edition) post their computer specs on here?
It will give new users an idea of what hardware is tried tested and working if they are looking at buying new hardware.

Re: Desktop spec

Re: Desktop spec
Why Thank you! I have added myself to the list! (core i5 3.5 Ghz - 8Gb RAM - 1Gb AMD Radeon GDDR5 - 1 Tb SATA)
Unfortunately my graphics card is not working with Maya, and the third party drivers wont install. So no decent graphics and no sound!
Other than that mine works fine
