Re: (no subject)

I'm using mint because I disliked the smartphone-ised Ubuntu, and yes I
know it's my duty as a consumer to adapt to what producers want to produce
but  that's too much like the DCC's attitude of "we're putting up parking
charges because we think you should walk, bus and cycle" and I don't like
that either so I practice active avoidance.

So anyhoo, I'd better take a look-see at what mint has on offer now... well
not now, it's a great gardening day and I've finished my coffee break.

Thanks for the heads-up about new versions, guys!

Kathinka.
