Hey, Mint 11 is very nice. But how comes Mint LXDE uses 240 MB of RAM when just opened, and the Gnome version uses 215~220 MB!??
Any clues?
When using the processor, is it really lighter?

Yes, this is a beautiful release. I suppose one remaining question I have is when will LVM2 be supported in the installer? Other than that, great job guys! Keep up the good work.:-)

Is there a simple way of changing the virtual desktop size so I can have a desktop size greater than my monitor permits ?

I have a Lenovo Ideapad and maximum resolution is 1024×600 at present.

How easy is to install it for a beginner of Linux.
Is it’s installation like gnome version or require manual disk partitioning.

Well, actually a week of using this release… It’s time for some conclusions, I guess…

SturtUp-Manager crashes down immediately when being launched.

PCmanFM crashes down each 15 minutes or so when opening a folder. Just a simple small folder at a simple doubleclick!

According to the debug messages, this file manager doesn’t see the disks at all and tries to mount the already mounted devices on the fly???!!! O_o

Sorry, guys, but that’s too much. 🙁
I’m afraid I have to use some other OS 🙁

Nice release, though I thought LXDE was a Debian base when I installed it. I’d install it on a bunch of computers we’re sending to a medical school in Haiti except for one quibble: the black Plymouth boot screen. These are old machines, average <1 GHz, 512 MB, and they do take their time booting. It looks like nothing is happening. It is going to be hard enough to convince the recipients not to blow pirated XP on to the boxen, so boot feedback is a very good thing. Personally I never had much use for Plymouth, I'd rather see a bunch of text scrolling by, I find it more interesting and less stressful. Also, there doesn't seem to be any way in the installer to make the machines boot directly to the GUI. I have been using Linux for 6 years, I can work around this on a personal machine, but it isn't something I want to mess with on 25 computers, so I'll probably opt for Zorin or something else.
