I recently finished a review I had been working on for a few weeks for OSNews. It’s about my experience with the new release of Linux Mint 7: “Gloria,” and how it runs on my netbook (the EeePC 1000 HE). As it turned out, I would recommend this system to non-nerds, though I’d have to do some work on it before it would be optimal for them. As it is, the comments on OSNews seem to be very supportive of this review (one of my previous reviews had mostly negative comments– though it is one of the 50 or so most viewed posts of all time).
Linux Mint 7 “Gloria” was released a little while ago, so before it became too old of news, I thought I’d take a whack at experimenting with it for the sake of netbookers everywhere (and for myself, naturally). As I type this on gedit after about two weeks’ use, let’s just say that the system on my EeePC 1000 HE is, for the most part, rather glorious– pun intended. As a bonus, I also got Google’s Chromium browser to run on it, so keep on reading to find the section on that.
