Thank for the responses guys. I'm surprised at how popular Mini seems to be.
My computer is a pretty regular laptop. It has a dual core Pentium
processor. Trisquel runs well on it. I was wondering if Mini might run
faster.

My laptop runs pretty fast with the normal Trisquel DE.

1 GB of RAM (2 Matched 512 MB RAM)
