Ive just installed linux mint, i really liked the look of it from the test so decided to give it a go. Ive made sure its NOT running from disc and from HD and it still seems to be hanging quite often, another problem i have is my internet only works for 1-2 mins then i have to reconnect (wireless), i never had this problem in windows, maybe its a driver problem with the wireless card? my network card is a tp link 150mbs TL-WN781N

I have installed some graphics drivers from linux's own updater thing but i dont know if their the newest ones.

Im installing updates right now but had to restart a few times as internet got cut off whilst downloading.

Any other general tips for getting started? Even though ive got a few problems now im going to stick with it :)

Think ive messed this up it wont even start now, says something along the lines of FATAL: could not load -2.6.36- etc then goes onto terminal or something, but wont let me start, think i'll sort this out in the morning :(

Maybe ill try out ubuntu.

I have it currently working in wired, but still not wireless it wont even find any access points anymore, i think ill try updating via software manager but just hope it doesnt break the system like it seemed to do last time :S (once again thanks for the help)

Thats the one i did before, and it stopped me being able to boot and needed to reinstall. Like it came up with a black screen asked for password, was basicly just a big version of terminal that wouldnt let me boot :s
