The Perfect Desktop - Linux Mint 5 Elyssa R1

Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 06/26/2008 08:54 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

Howtoforge published a guide about setting up Linux Mint 5 Elyssa R1 as a replacement for a Windows desktop




This tutorial shows how you can set up a Linux Mint 5 Elyssa R1 desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge. Linux Mint 5 is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu 8.04 that has lots of packages in its repositories (like multimedia codecs, Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader, Skype, Google Earth, etc.) that are relatively hard to install on other distributions; it therefore provides a user-friendly desktop experience even for Linux newbies.
