I have to say linux Mint has been alot more stable than Ubuntu. More thought seems to go into it. I'm not knocking Ubuntu it was one of the first stable versions I worked with. However Mint is my preferred OS for the past year.
Interesting observation. I have Mint 7 and Ubuntu 9.10 here, simply needing about 5 hours each to d/l the latest of either for updating (baby ADSL).
My understanding is that Mint is Ubuntu, with various codecs plus the multimedia repositories being included. More or less what one gets by adding MediUbuntu to Ubuntu. They also seem to run a few more checks of the Ubuntu updates before releasing same a bit later.
Yes, Mint seems very stable. My only problem is likely an Nvidia video card issue which is likely what freezes X overly frequently.
Ah, just installed 'hardinfo', now I can see what I've got! 73, John VA7OTC _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
