Linux Mint 11 Review

As my first review, I will try to be as thorough as possible. The PC I am using has 1GB of RAM a 10GB Hard Drive and a 2.6GHz Processor. A couple of things are my personal opinion on what I like and don't like. Thank you for your understanding.

The Live CD boot is just a general Linux boot with its entire being made of text. The Live CD desktop looks like this.



















The installer says forward instead of next just like Ubuntu Linux. Linux Mint needs at least 3.7GB according to the installer. Another thing, the installer asks you questions while you install which is a convenient way to use the time installing although it does seem to freeze up quite a bit while answering the questions. But before I forget... here is a picture of the installer.




















The default desktop after installing the operating system contains a link to the Computer folder and a link to Your Home. The default desktop after installation looks like this.

The desktop by default uses the GNOME desktop with the GNOME Menu using a gear instead of the GNOME foot. The default web browser is Firefox with Thunderbird for Mail. The installation I have is the CD version but the DVD version contains some more applications. The DVD upgrade program looks like this.

So, for a final addition to this review I of course have to give Linux Mint 11 a rating.
Out of 5 stars... I give Linux Mint a 4. It is a very good operating system but of course it isn't perfect and I can't give it a perfect score unless it deserves it.

Thank You for reading Lolo's Linux Mint 11 Review. Good Bye!
