As the name suggests “Gloria” is simply Glorious.Though I’m new to Linux OS,still I can say It is the best ever of the Linux distros I have ever experienced.
I’m from India and a remote village using Linux Mint in a live mode(As by Hard Disk burnt last month),people here are least familiar to Linux OS…..
They Simply Surprise to see an whole OS running successfully without any Hard Drive!!!!!!!!!But I know this is only because “It is Linux”.

This has inspired some of my friends and they too are using it side by side of MS WindowsXP.
I know one who use Linux Mint to run all machines of his Cyber Cafe,cause there was a recent development in tracking pirated versions of MS Windows XP(I think in India more than 90% of WindowsXP are pirated copies).
Moreover a free environment without fear of getting hacked or malicious codes.
I wish it to be the most successful among all Linux distributions.
Thank you all for supporting “Linux Mint”

Congratulations to the Mint Team !

I’m doing my little contribution telling friends and across different forums and blogs about Mint. I gave a few CDs to friends, so they can test it.

I’m usint Mint 7, after trying Ubuntu 7.10 , and 8.10 (I think, can’t really remember now). Mint is definitely the best desktop distribution I know. I feel really comfortable using it, and I use Win at work and at home since Win 3.1, 95, 98, Me, XP… I hope Mint can grow, and reach the top in DistroWatch, since this is a real alternative to all the normal desktop users, as well as for all the rest.

Also, I’m doing my little contibution paying attention (and clicking when i’m interested) to the Advertisements (google ads) in the site and forums of Linuxmint.com … This helps a little to the incomes?

Thank you for this amazing OS.

Regards from Uruguay.
Hernan.

Honestly, after looking at the stats, I’m disappointed. Linux Mint is the disto that I feel Ubuntu wants to be, and in my opinion the best Linux Distro for the desktop. As users, we need to do more to spread the word and our love for Linux Mint and get more people involved.
I love this OS, and I think the team has done a terrific job – with more to come I’m sure. Thank you for making my switch to Linux a pleasurable one.

Congratulations, and good luck for the months and years to come.

I have been working with Linux and using Windows at the same time. Since “Gloria” appeared I gained the partition of Windows to store relevant data. I also saved money of my antivirus license and time to actualize my sistem thans to “mint update”. Thank you to all Linux Mint Crew: “Gloria” is great.

Keep up the good work Mint. Hope to see the community grow even larger, and have the media get focused on Linux (Mint). Now trying to get Mint to #2 on distrowatch! (#1 = Ubuntu, else we wouldn’t have anything left to build on 😉 )
