Thanks I also used to be my company's expert on the print queue.
I could list processes and kill the uid/pid? I was a hero. If it wasn't for me we would have to wait a day for our sub-contracted rip-off merchants support. But those days have faded, if W8 becomes ubiqiuitous I may force myself back to Open Source. |

Linux MInt 13 Maya
The much awaited final release version of Linux Mint 13 (Maya) is now available
http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/linuxmint.com/stable/13 I've downloaded the linuxmint-13-cinnamon-dvd-32bit.iso version as it looks and works really well. The best distro release yet. |

Linux MInt 13 Maya
Yes it is the final. The Heanet server is always the first place to look for the upload. Check the stable directory. Also you can always check the progress of versions being tested on http://community.linuxmint.com/iso. Once you see it fully tested you then check Heanet to see if it has been uploaded for general release, checking Testing directory for RC and Stable directory for final release ones.

Well if that's true then thank you for the heads up. I've managed to download a copy in about 10 minutes and beaten the rush! I'll give a shot tomorrow.

I'm lost in Ubuntu 11.10 world at the moment and the first time I've tried unity. Strangely enough I really like it. Unsurprisingly I'm finding a few issues mostly with Firefox 12. Sounding like a chipmunk on speed on Skype was a great laugh for my family though
. I'm thinking about going for Ubuntu 12.04 already but now I'm thinking Mint 13 (Maya) may be worth a try. Looks like another weekend is going to disappear fast...

Well try as I might I cannot get Mint 13 to boot from a USB stick. I've tried Unetbootin, both the one in the Ubuntu repos and the newest one from their site, and also the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator, and the thing will not boot. I don't want to have to burn a DVD. Am I alone with this issue?

Linux MInt 13 Maya - usb boot
Try and boot using the Yumi usb boot system
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-mu...t-usb-creator/ You can also put other Linux ISOs such as System Rescue on the usb flash drive and create a multi boot if required. |

I have used the links at bottom of those pendrivelinux pages for single iso and multiboots.
They are excellent little packages but don't always work for a particular iso. I found trial and error was the order of the day. Universal USB Installer may work when unetbootin fails for example. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/univers...2-3/#more-3827 |

You lots don't know what your talking about. Kubuntu Precise Pangolin is the obvious winner.
![]() ![]() You having a good experience with Kubuntu 12.04 then? I read Dedoimedo's review which sort of slates it for not being very polished, and needing too many user refinements to finish it off. I tend to feel that way about most Linux distros. They always need some sort of finishing off. |

Really very lovely indeed, and I can see why the distro is climbing the Distrowatch rankings. It's very very pretty and modern feeling, but has all the accessibility of the regular desktop paradigm. It's stunning. I honestly did not expect to like it one bit, but while I'm still unsure why it had to be forked from Gnome, the fact is it works and works well. So whatever technical reason they had for it, it has clearly paid off. And now yet another quandary. I'm going to have to install it and get up close with it. D'oh! |
