I also run Mint, and like it too. No adware. I cant seem to find much differentiation between Linux versions today. Debian, Mint, Ubuntu are together
Fedora, Redhat, Centos, Scientific Linux are on the other side. And then there is Open SUSE which I put together with Centos. Every now and then there is a new kid on the block. Perhaps someday that kid will be a surprise winner. Regards Leslie Mr. Leslie Satenstein 50 years in Information Technology and going strong.

Just where is it? On the welcom screen for the live CD? On the login screen after installatino?
