Linux Mint Forums

I have been a Linux user since the days of Red Hat 5 (1998-ish?) and have been using Linux as my primary OS for at least 8 years. In that time, I have jumped around a bit between Suse, Red hat, Fedora, Mepis, and PC Linux OS. I tried Mint (again) a few weeks ago (Mint 10 Julia), and have been so impressed, that I switched from Mepis to Mint as my primary OS. there were a few bumps in transitioning from KDE, but in general, it has been a really good experience. Hat's off for a job well done. In fact, this my be the highest praise: after installing Mint, my kids thanked me for the "new computers". Now I didn't change the hardware, so you can interpret that how you will.

Welcome to the Mint community Louie. It sounds like you have a lot to offer.

Just making a guess based on your forum name, but shouldn't the kids be about out of the house by now?
But then maybe some twins snuck up on you late.

thanks all for the warm greetings.
