Re: UPDATE PACK 4 FEEDBACK THREAD
Updated from linux-image-3.0.0.1-686-pae, to this image. Removed compiz as a start up preference first, and then launched UP4. Everything appears to be working, without any (not one) issue(s). Installed Cinnamon (my preference after the GS new car smell wore off) and now ready to tackle the 64-bit v...

Re: The passing of one of our own
As a father I know that even the thought of the loss of one of your children, is an enormous emotion; one of inconceivable depth. In reading Robin's blog, I see wisdom beyond years and "feel" the words he used to express his love for his family and his love for life itself. My heart felt c...

Re: I.. am Ikey
Welcome back Ikey. I could easily go into allot on the subject of parasites, but I'll just say be careful they usually live in the environment you are drawn to, so re-infection by a mutated and therefore not easily recognizable replica is possible.
Again - good to see you.

Re: Suggestions for Future Releases of Linux Mint
Couldn't agree more. An Arch based Linux Mint spin would be great! I love Arch. I've been testing it / trying to break Arch for the past 9 months (and believe me I can break them - try this, try that, etc). Now I didn't use Arch on an everyday machine, but it got its fair share investigation. I inst...

I hate to post links, without having tried the how-to(s) they contain. However, there may be some information there that you can use. For example: "The last stage before you create the file system on your new raid disk is to create your mdadm.conf file. The mdadm.conf file contains information ...

Re: Very good Mint 10 review
Yes this was a very good review. I enjoy the Dedoimedo site for the reviews and a source of information; it is generally very well presented material to learn from. And what we learn from this review is something we all know: that Linux Mint is a real distribution; not just a re-spin. I like what I ...

Re: How to Shrink "Extended Partition"?
What partitions are located inside the extended partition?
Yes the two installs Ubuntu and Linux Mint can use the same swap partition.
You may want to post a screen shot of your partition layout.

@1984,
When you see the count down screen that you described press the space bar. Then scroll down to the compatibility mode.

Steely,
Nice desktop theme. I need to look at that background when it is 105-degrees plus. Is that art available?
