Recently installed Mint 18 "XFCE" after being a Ubuntu and Xubuntu user since 7.04 (FF). The install was very simplistic and went without issue. The total time investment including setup and prefs took approx. 1.5 hours (helps that I'm a minimalists).
An Excellent Start - Impressive!
Look forward to communicating with and helping (when possible) others enjoy the distro. My wife and I have been Linux "ONLY" for about 10 years.

Re: Hello From A Mint Newbie
I wish to take a moment to THANK all those who welcomed me.
I'm of the opinion that a community of users helping each other - can accomplish significantly more than a community of users only expecting answers from others. It's been my experience with Linux that - every time I've assisted someone else - I've benefited from the experience...
Recall these written words from my youth.
Thanks Again
