i got a ubuntu 7.04 cd shipped from shipit.ubuntu.com few weeks ago..
installed it.. but no luck playing media files.. no active internet connection..
cant run to a cybercafe for resolving small small dependenies...
& to my luck while surfing 2 days i found this.. now im very happy with this distro..
planning to dump windows very soon..
i shud say this is the best distro out there for a bigginer.
& it is Linux Mint 3.0, codename Cassandra.. im sure many of u guys must be knowing abt it & finding it boring
coz thr is nothing u need to mess with it or nothing much to configure & its pretty simple & it gets installed in just like 8-10 clicks..
here r some key features mentioned on the release notes i liked:
☺ Out of the box multimedia support
☺ 3D Effects
☺ OpenOffice 2.2 (complete suite)
☺ Ubuntu Feisty innovations (restricted-manager, desktop-effects, windows migration assistant, avahi)
☺ Sun Java 6 installed by default
☺ Pidgin installed by default
☺ Compiz, Beryl and Emerald installed by default
☺ Thunderbird installed by default
☺ Great selection of default applications (OpenOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, Gimp, Pidgin, XChat, Amarok..etc)
☺ Solid package base (Google Earth, Picasa, Skype.. a lot of important software present in the repositories or in the Linux Mint Software Portal, compatibility with all Ubuntu Feisty repositories and most Debian packages)
the thing i loved at the 1st instance is tht when i played a Xvid movie after installing it.. it worked like a charm on the 1st click!!
mp3s,.mov,& most of the other formats work with it !!
even DVDs worked without any problem ..
im enjoying my movies music & dvds now !!
