While not a KDE fan,coming from PCLOS, I've been using Mint for the last four months. A Daryna Mint and a Fluxbox Mint on two different old boxes with less hassles than I've had with any other distros, Ubuntu included.In fact,it was the only distro that recognized and configured my obscure external usb wifi without a glitch. Although I'll agree that it's not a challenging distro,it certainly single handedly will do more to attract new users and keep them on board with its P&P approach and flawless stability,especially with their software portal. Anybody remember dependency hell...?
