POPSLinux Mint - The Elegant Ubuntu
Open Source, Linux Mint is an offshoot of the Ubuntu Base Distribution. The operating system can be customised with a package repository that holds over 23000 programs, inluding source codes. It can be installed alongside windows, There is the need to learn some operating commands, but its handy to find out whats going on behind the screen. I didn't have a clue about Linux a few months ago, but the hardest thing was starting. I installed Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10, and started to play with some other variants including Ultimate, Ultimate Gamer, and Mint. I was having wso much fun, I burned out my RAM just after Christmas, (It was a Hot Day.) I've found answers to problems through the support communities, and I don't need to look for Programs or applications. The next base Upgrade will be named 8.04 Hardy Heron, and there is an upgrade faculity in the update manager. I thought I'd use Mint as an example . If I'm going to bring a Gutsty Gibbon to clipmarks I want it to be wearing a suit

POPSVMWare Workstation on Ubuntu 7.10 I haven't tried if this would work for me, but I have similar problem of not being able to run VMWare after upgrading to Gutsy Gibbon. Hopefully solution works.

POPSGutsy Gibbon Debuts Ubuntu is one of the most popular Linux distributions in the world, and also the one that people say has the best chance of actually stealing mainstream users from Windows. It's a great operating system, remarkably user friendly and powerful. But in my experience previous versions have not been perfect alternatives to Windows -- I wouldn't want to set up an aging relative to use it. Perhaps 7.1 will be a step towards truly making Linux grandma friendly.

POPSCanonical's new Ubuntu The past few releases of Ubuntu had become quite uninteresting, so this breath of fresh air is especially welcome. The standardization of the 3D desktop is a good thing because it'll allow more exposure. If the plug-and-play functionality works as advertised, it could convince more people to try Linux, since the biggest barrier (aside from software incompatibility) is hardware malevolence. I'm behind Canonical on this.
