Initial Linux release version Mint7 Based on Ubuntu9.04

Finally, I installed Linux. This installation is Mint7. due to the problem of the video card driver, I haven't used Linux for a while. I was going to return to SUSE. By the way, I tried the legendary KDE4, but I had to wrong the ISO file. finally, I remembered Mint. I remember that two years ago I wanted to install this release, but I was too lazy to go over it. mint is a derivative release of Ubuntu, while Mint7 is based on Ubuntu9.04. but the strange thing is that

Finally, we installed Linux. This time we installed Mint 7. I haven't used Linux for a while because of the problem of the video card driver. I was going to return to SUSE. By the way, I tried the legendary KDE 4, but I had no choice but to wrong the ISO file. finally, I remembered Mint. I remember that two years ago I wanted to install this release, but I was too lazy to go over it.

Mint is a derivative release of Ubuntu, while Mint 7 is based on Ubuntu 9.04. however, the strange thing is that Ubuntu cannot be used normally regardless of the 180 driver recommended by the system or the old 173 driver. but Mint can. (My video card should be NVIDIA GeForce 8200 M.) Okay, I'll use it.

The installation steps of live CD are almost the same as those of Ubuntu, but they are much faster than Ubuntu (but the installation system of live CD is still very slow, or the alternate version is better)

The interface is more delicate than Ubuntu and fresh. the menu button on the panel is convenient and practical, but it feels a bit SuSE. (Ubuntu users can install ubuntu-system-panel to install similar menu buttons.) The system uses Tango-style icons and provides uniform icons for many common programs, including bluefish, eclipse, exaile, wine ,... even the game wesnoth icon can be found in/usr/share/icons/Shiki-Mint/16x16/apps.

Multimedia support is in place. The system has built-in support for multimedia encoding (is there no copyright issue ?), Mp3, wmv, mpeg, rmvb, flash ,... you don't have to worry about it. pre-installed MPlayer and provides two sets of guis: GMPlayer and GNOME MPlayer. I used GNOME MPlayer for the first time. It feels good and easier than GMPlayer, but it is not powerful enough to meet basic requirements.

Mint can be regarded as a customized Ubuntu version. Besides Ubuntu official sources, Mint and medibuntu sources are included in the installation source, which is quite convenient to install the software. (adding CN99 does not seem to work. Is it blocked by Netease ?)

Mint is a more thorough lazy system. After installation, Chinese users only need to pack SCIM and font for use. We recommend that you do not use it for new beginners.
