Tried it, don’t bother. The nice Mint Menu was available as an option after install. The installation was pretty much straight Fedora w/ Gnome. I manually installed MINT menu. Wireless was not easy, so I scrapped it, back to MINT. Nice try. Fedora don’t provide the easy “non free” drivers. (so nothing works)

I think thats great that mint is getting the recognition it deserves.

Though I would like to see a Linux distro that encompasses all of the best from all the other major distros out there with one kernel and source code for software company’s (Games) to be able to get behind instead of them having to try and configure it for a half dozen or so I think that is a goal currently beyond the scope and budget of evan Mint.

If you can make something better without breaking it I’m all for that but as the old timers use to say if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. and mint definitely is not broke.

This is not a Fedora Official Release at all and i Know that.
I am in Brazil and so…
I do really don’t like Fedora but i would like to give Valent’s Fedora Work Remix a try (perhaps a install) but i couldn’t do it. I simply gave up.
1.4gb iso size
I have downloaded this Fedora 13 Lucky13 Remix (3 times from isolinuxhr) and the iso md5sum didn’t match. One more chance (time)
via torrent(Deluge) and the iso md5sum not matched again. Had to share
more or less 400/500gb before getting the iso and went on seeding
a bit more. Results: got 4 corrupted isos, wasting time and internet connection. Made a DVD from the torrent iso but could not boot the Live DVD.It never happened before to me. Next time i hope i will be lucky14. Thanks anyway.

[…] sukses install Linux Mint 9 Isadora, dan selanjutnya install Fedora 13 Goddard, saya membaca Blog Linux Mint yang memaparkan tentang Menu Linux Mint yang di-inject ke Fedora. Ini sungguh menarik sekali […]

Could other Linux Distros utilize the mint menu? say for example

Puppy Linux, Vector Linux, or even Slax Linux I think it would be cool if Puppy Linux could be easily installed on a hard drive.

ok, tried it and it is very promising indeed (I didn’t need to download a driver for Nvidia and was able to play Open Arena, what I can not under Mint9 on this machine). In so far yes, it is promising, but it is again a distro that is patronizing the user (can’t get a root account), Good Heaven, it’s my machine, when I break it, it’s my fault. I know that, but go away with restrictions, had enough from M$. So I’m back with Isadora here on my Lappy.

There were some kernel issues with their ISO…but all in all a pretty decent effort. Fedora has some advances with Plymouth that Ubuntu needs to take to heart.

Linux mint needs to stick with Ubuntu because both distros share packages that are compatible with one another and are Debian based. which is by far the most stable Linux desk top. switching to fedora will cause more problems. stick with Ubuntu Linux mint community.

Dear Clem,
Look at the panel, they provide Pin ability. I made an idea in community page but got only 7 votes about the ability to resize the empty space when we add or remove a new icon. The PC/OS and now this Fedora do that job. Could you take time to consider this idea too please? Because Mint shows only one panel, you should work on the panel a little bit more (beside the wonderful menu).
