Re: Questions on triple boot
Thank you very much @GeneC
I will give Clonezilla a try.
May I ask you one more question?
Do you re-install the boot loader every time or do you keep the one you already have?
I was thinking to keep the one I currently have in Mint 10 and use that one.

Re: Mint 13 LXDE. When?
I installed Mint Debian with XFCE on an EEEPC and then put Openbox/LXDE on top.
I have now something which resembles closely Mint 12 LXDE, but I have to admit I am not fully satisfied with the machine performance.
For some reason, 'pure' Mint LXDE performed by far better. Really missing Mint LXDE

For now, theme works well, but Clem and the rest of the team are planning some changes to the compatibility with the GS themes and in...

my 2 cents:podagee wrote:try mate its almost exactly like lxde.to me anyway it is
Mint LXDE is a billion times better than the currently available MATE.
Mint LXDE is fantastic desktop polished everywhere.
MATE is a collection of rough edges and it is more resource hungry.

Re: Mint 12 RC - Noob's first impressions
After reading Linux Mint 12 Preview , I was expecting that if I boot into MATE (from the initial login menu) I would get only the old GNOME2-ish look and feel and nothing else.
