McCordRm Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Jolicloud looks pretty cool! Too bad it's netbook only, so to say... Nonetheless, I am tempted to try it on my desktop just for the fun of it ;) lol. Let us know how that goes. Since you're playing around with distro creators, you might want to check this article out : Click Some pretty good suggestions here, even though some don't meet the 'distro creator' title. Instalinux is really interesting. Way ahead of you. That's where I found out about the distro builders. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growled Member Posted July 28, 2010 Member Share Posted July 28, 2010 which version is better - Mint x32 or x64? is there any diff. in performance b/w them? for 4GB RAM. I'd go with x64 myself mainly to easily use all of your RAM. I didn't notice that much difference in performance, myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically just sick of Windows and want to learma new OS. Also ways good software for my ipod nano 5th gen? Aware that itunes first work on Linux. From what I've read, the wireless issue is still a problem with Ubuntu 10.04, the driver is not included in the kernel. There is a workaround for Ubuntu, not sure about other distros.

Folders and I think files when you put a "." in front of the name like ".opera" make the folder or file hidden in Linux. I am sure you can get aero snap like features in the gnome desktop environment which the default mint uses but I am not sure how to do it as I use the KDE desktop environment in Arch Linux which has aero snap like features enabled by default.
