One borked system after another 
But my Mint install and linux know how has come a longggggg way towards maximum tweakage !!! D: Actually the hard drive failed in a nearly new laptop just after the warranty expired and be damned if I was going to pay for a new OS 
After a few failed attempts with such distros as Slack, Arch, and OpenSUSE I found Mint . Now my wife uses Mint 9 Isadora and I use a variety of distros including Crunchbang, Mint 9 &10, along with my newest trial a Hackintosh...but I still revert back to Mint as a favourite OS. I haven't found anything that requires Windows to run as there are very good alternative programs in FOSS. We do have one poor old XP powered computer in the basement where M$ belongs gathering dust and cobwebs ... Hmm maybe I should see if it even runs...Nah rest in peace

When I had three computers instead of one, I experimented alot more. Down to one 'puter which has to be completely stable and completely functional, I rely on the LTS versions of Xubuntu and/or Linux Mint. In fact I won't upgrade to the next LTS edition on this 'puter until the previous one reaches end-of-life.
But when I can get a "spare" computer, I'll experiment and play and adjust and configure and tweak Linux until it breaks, then Google for solutions and fix it. Can't help but "learn Linux" doing that! And it's kinda fun if you have time and don't need the 'puter for anything critical.
Actually I installed Debian and spent the better part of two months getting it to work and to look and act like I wanted. My perfect, personalized Debian Xfce mixture was so similar to Xubuntu that I was like, "Geez I could have done this in 20 minutes instead of two months!"
