I feel for yall. I was keeping quit about it because we are having DNS issues with our carrier too. Did you know that someone actually tracks out of service conditions and they can let know when a problem is occurring with connections? I also recently lost my disk copy of Petra when my notebook’s HD failed. I had clone copies of the entire OS and backups. No matter what I did I couldn’t get the image rebuild to the exact replication of what I had before thats when i discovered the Grsync tool alias rsync. I also changed my backup plans a bit to have multiple copies 3-minimal, and separate data from ISO, build, and run-time. It’s best not reply on one single disk, so redundancy is very important so using tools like Gparted for cloning or disk-copy are critical if you want to keep what you have.

I’m an extreme Linux Newbie.. a friend recommended Linux Mint very highly, so I am trying it out.

It was sold to Me as: “It’s way better than Windows.. it installs everything in Your computer – without driver nonsense.. like Windows does.

I installed Linux Mint on an older system (thank god it’s not on my main pc .. to try it out) everything “except” the net works on my 4 year old netbook.

I read as much as I could from the Forums .. and posted questions.. in the 3 days that the forums were working.. no-one was able to lead me to the solution to my problems.

Every 2 – or 3 years I try a version of Linux to see if it “works” yet. This is my latest attempt to say goodbye to Microsoft.. but once again ..like the previous 3 tries – Linux is not up to the task of being an “everyday operating system”!

Not only does Linux Mint not work (completely) on my netbook, but the forums – where I would find to fix the problem have been MIA for about a week now.

I’d love to say: “Man Linux Mint is awesome” but that has not been my experience!

I hope You get Your site fixed.. but for Me anyway, Linux Mint is just not ready to be an “everyday operating system”!

Is like a lag or just the scroll is slow?
If you’ve got lag and you’re using Firefox, try this out:
Edit>Options>Advanced>tab General>sec. Navigation>Use Smooth Scrolling (try disabling it); and also the Hardware Aceleration can make things different, try enabling it.
