Linux is slowly replacing Windows as the Operating System of choice among Home users and Business users alike , The only problem a newbie faces while trying Linux is non-availability of softwares and codecs for day to day tasks like , Working with documents,presentation,listening to mp3’s playing divx files etc. Many Linux distributions fail to provide these and others suffer from lack of huge software repositories that will suffice all your software needs… Ubuntu does the latter part but what about the former part.

Well, Now you have a pretty simple alternative Linux Mint 4.0 based on Ubuntu 7.10 , one of the most user-friendly distributions on the market,it delivers all what Ubuntu has to give and added to that it has some enhancements like..

1. inbuilt support for mp3’s video files.
2. Wi-Fi cards drivers in the file system, multimedia support, screen resolution, etc.
3. Compatible with Ubuntu’s software repositories, which gives you access to huge collection of
software, maintained by Ubuntu community.
4. Lot of desktop improvements.

and many more…..

I would personally recommend this flavor of Linux ….

The latest in the release is Linux Mint 4.0 Daryna , it comes in 6 customizations , choose the one that suits you.
You can download it from here .
