mguhlin Jan 02, 2011 03:21AM Already backed up my UbuntuLinux machine...seriously considering switching it to LinuxMint
coke! says Jan 02, 2011 03:23AM may I ask why. I thought Mint was a small foot print version with limited capabilities.
mguhlin Jan 02, 2011 03:28AM Really? It's not. You can get the fully loaded Mint "Julia" and it comes with everything in a very nice package.
coke! says Jan 02, 2011 03:29AM maybe I am thinking of an earlier version or something else.. I get the distros mixed up sometimes
mguhlin Jan 02, 2011 03:29AM I'm running Mint on dual boot Mac and Windows XP machines without issue and very pleased. Although I like minimalist GUIs, Mint provides...

coke! says Jan 02, 2011 03:32AM just went to the site and read about it.. I think i got it mixed up with some other distro
mguhlin Jan 02, 2011 03:35AM Well, that happens easily enough! Not like PuppyLinux!! or DSL! Which one do you use?
coke! says Jan 02, 2011 03:40AM mguhlin: are you using VirtualBox to run them on the Mac or just boot camp single boot?
coke! says Jan 02, 2011 03:40AM I have been using VirtualBox running Windows 7 on my Mac since quite a bit of what I am doing requires windows OS
mguhlin Jan 02, 2011 05:33AM I'm running bootcamp on Mac to dual boot...use Refit to achieve dual boot menu. Works great. I run Virtual Box on my Mac to get Windows.
