yes, rbeltz48, here are some specs, the 1gb hdd is the oldest bit and smart enabled, no errors yet, psu is a new coolermaster gx450, the system as such seems ok, i have done heaps to this one in experimenting, thus several repair installs, but i've had trouble with cinnamon from the start, opera has played up and couldn't update it, loosing icons all the time
http://i49.tinypic.com/2aik6md.jpg, i'm shortly going to update the kernel from the .17 to the .25 version available via synaptic.
soon i will test the mate and kde version on another machine, see if i like them, maybe go with mate of kde later on.
other thing is the native pdf reader has trouble with some pdf's, can you recommend a different reader? cheers
ps. forgot to add it is dual boot with win7. mint being my main system.
