converted ubuntu user and new to mint

Post by shaggydavid » Tue Dec 18, 2012 1:51 pm

i would like to introduce myself, im josh. i have been following ubuntu for years and i loved it untill... i found mint! mint's live cd is impressive, it comes with vlc and dvd support already installed. the kde interface is nice (i didn't like kde). i would also like to tell you all that i have finally given up windows for mint. with the app "playonlinux" almost everything i did in windows i now do in mint. thankyou to all who developed this wonderful O.S.

The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place.
