After a while I resume my writing on this little blog to report a pleasant discovery: Linux Mint 5 Elyssa
Community Editions (KDE desktop)
L 'I tried it in Live el' I immediately installed on my test mule (an old PIII 800Mhz spinning like a train ..... but only with Gnu-Linux of course!) . The graphics are very attractive and above all, a really nice menu, original and funny (and usable!) I was really impressed. This directly derived from Kubuntu distro I had already affected by the version 4.0 but now I really believe it enough to put in "standby" ready to be installed on my new Acer laptop.
clear right away that there is nothing extraordinary compared to the other (in fact, does not even sound pulse and uses KDE 3.5.9) but what he presents it really well and makes it work especially well. In fact, besides to 'original application menu using various management tools very well made as XAMPLE MintUpdate MintInstall and whose names are already self-explanatory. He also Gdeby for debian packages and Envy for proprietary drivers. United States, like previous versions, the repository of ubuntu (in our case ubuntu 8.04) but has one more chance, connecting to the web page www.linuxmint.com can exploit a specific repository
Mint called "portal software. They are installed by default most of the video and audio codecs, and then immediately able to play MP3s and watch movies and DVDs without downloading codec "strange", you can also install the packages of Italian for all the tools the distro (or almost!) does not, however, as all the latest distro, the pulse audio server, which I imagine will be included in the next release, what will be referred to ubuntu 8.10
For the more "technical "I can say that the distro, live and installable software has among its holdings:
