Well thank you very much carbon_unit...now I have to buy another ThinkPad just to be able to run this... :banghead:

Maybe I'll just be a sneak and install it on my daughter's HP...she loves Tux anyway... :lol:

Ever heard about a (not so) new concept called "dual booting"? Or even "multi booting"?

It may surprise you, but yes I have, and that's how my machines are set up. I just don't feel like touching anything on either of them because I finally have all the tweaks that I needed...

I know what you mean. I'll probably wait until its out of the RC stages before trying it.

I am also anxiously waiting for the release version.

In the meantime, I have converted at least one strictly Windows user and three other Linux distribution users to Mint.
