Running Linux Mint 12 on Desktop and Mint 13 on my Laptop

has worked out great so far. I was able to speed up the use of my desktop installing Linux Mint 12 without any problems. Even remote accessing work and using the work vpn has worked out very well.

GOOD BYE Windows !

Working out well means that the computer is running nice and fast, I can run two screens, Internet throughput is very speedy, while being well protected by the build-in firewall and the fact that there are not many viruses for Linux :-)

It worked out so well, I test ran Linux Mint 13 from the Live DVD (had to load it on a USB stick). And look there - it works great. I have a Lenovo Ideapad 3t-s10 with touch screen and even that works great. And who needs multi-touch anyway LOL.

To synchronize browsing and data I work with I use Dropbox and Firefox sync. Secure, fast and reliable. I sync notes using Zim Desktop Wiki via Dropbox.

I am a happy Linux camper - highly recommended !!

Let me know if I can answer any questions.

An important insight !

Image via Wikipedia Woman and a Fork There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things 'in order,' she contacted her Pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in. Everything was in order and the Pastor was preparing to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her. 'There's one more thing,' she said excitedly. 'What's that?' came the Pastor's reply. 'This is very important,' the young woman continued. 'I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.' The Pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say. That surprises you, doesn't it?' the young woman asked. 'Well, to be honest, I'm puzzl...
