My OperaLinux Mint Isadora Released
Sunday, May 23, 2010 2:22:27 AM
Linux Mint v. 9, codenamed Isadora, has been released. Linux Mint is a computer operating system designed to work on most modern systems, including typical x86 and x64 PCs.
Linux Mint can be thought of as filling the same role as Microsoft's Windows, Apple's Mac OS, and the free BSD OS. Linux Mint is also designed to work in conjunction with other operating systems (including those listed above), and can automatically set up a dual boot or multi-boot environment (where the user is prompted as to which operating system to start at each boot-up) during its installation.
Linux Mint is a great operating system for individuals and for companies.
Linux Mint is a very modern operating system; Its development started in 2006. It is, however, built upon very mature and proven software layers, including the Linux kernel, the GNU tools and the Gnome desktop. It also relies on the Ubuntu and Debian projects and uses their systems as a base.
The Linux Mint project focuses on making the desktop more usable and more efficient for everyday tasks preformed by regular users. Underneath the desktop the operating system also provides, from a very strong base, a huge collection of available software and a very well integrated set of services.
Linux Mint saw a rapid rise in popularity and more and more people use it every day.
The Linux Mint community is very helpful and very active. If you have questions or a problem related to Linux Mint, you should be able to get help from other users online. First, make sure to register with the Linux Mint Forums. This is the very first place where you can find help: http://www.linuxmint.com/forum.
If you want to chat with other users you can connect to the IRC chat room. Under Linux Mint simply launch XChat from the menu. If you using another operating system or another IRC client make sure to connect to the irc.spotchat.org server and to join the channels #linuxmint-help and #linuxmint-chat.
Linux Mint uses Ubuntu repositories (more on what this means later) and is fully compatible with it so most of the resources, articles, tutorials, and software made for Ubuntu 10.04 (codenamed Lucid Lynx) also work for Linux Mint 9 Isadora. If you can find help on a specific subject for Isadora, make sure to search on the same subject for Lucid.
