Review: Linux Mint 7
Linux Mint is one of those distributions that not only has a big parent, and an even bigger grandparent, but it's also a distribution that has always improved, and never failed to impress. But everything that goes up must at some point come down.
So, does version 7 continue Mint's continual upward swing of greatness, or has the distribution stumbled and faulted? Well, you might be surprised at the answer, and then again, you might not. So without further adieu, let's get a look at Linux Mint 7!
Upon first booting up the LiveCD, you're greeted with the typical auto boot screen that counts down from ten before automatically starting the system boot. If you hit enter, it will expose the default grub boot menu.
For the last couple of versions, there really hasn't been much of a change here. But with version 7, Mint now comes with a "Start the installer only" option. Since Mint is based on Ubuntu, having this new feature here is not surprising in the least.
