Have tried the Gnome version and liked it, but there was some problems with sound and streaming, so switched to the new version of Ubuntu, but that kept switching off my Laptop after a few hours. I am going to give Isadora KDE a go,Mint has always been my favourite.

It is stable and faster than any other Os I have used on my system. Ran the kde version for curiosity…nowhere as as neat and polished as the gnome version. No luck with google earth,my favourite app… it runs once then crashes (I know its video card issues but for some reason the gnome version does not have this problem)…also the boot up is so much slower than with the gnome version and grub is by default confused with options. (dont have the skill to tidy it up) I can do without the eye candy if it sacrifices performance so much.
Thanks again to Mint for widening the linux portal!

Very nice distro! Thanks!!!

I strongly recommend it especially to newbies.

Although, gnome worked out of the box, KDE seems to have some issues. I am big fan of the KDE apps but I am afraid I will have to go back to gnome for full functionality.

if this can’t I’d think another way to manipulate grub again.
