Mint 8 - Helena

Not from what i've heard about upgrading from Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10, which is essentially what this is. There have been a lot of problems...
 
Meh, i'm already half way through downloading the .iso, which is a lot for my little Internet connection. Besides, i'd like a fresh start - i didn't buy these 100 CD-Rs for no reason ;)
 
I don't mind... there's nothing quite like that fresh OS feeling you get. Besides, i've only been using 7 for about a month, so i haven't amassed that many programs and i barely have any saved work.
 
Whatever, i've got it working now and it's a fair improvement over 7. No seriously major changes, but every little thing is just that much better, which makes it a lot nicer to work with.
 
Aparently Mint is now the fourth most widely used home OS, behind Windows, OSX and Ubuntu. I found that hard to believe but whatever:

AKiRa121: We’re now the 4th most widely used OS at home. We’ve passed the stage where we want to put our brand on everything we do and constantly remind people of who we are. Our tools are of good quality but so far they haven’t integrated well within the Gnome desktop, they’ve looked like an odd supplement to it. They’re complimenting the desktop though, so they should integrate with it the same way other Gnome, Debian, Ubuntu, 3rd party applications do. In the end it doesn’t matter who does what and who’s using it, the nature of Open Source is re-usability, so let’s make our desktop the best we can and not worry about losing some credit or some exclusivity.
