[Xastir] New User

[Ray Wells]

Steve,

Correct about Isadora. Linux Mint Debian is based on the latest Debian 
testing repositories and is intended as a rolling release to avoid the 
'fresh install' syndrome with 'Buntu based distros.

Being a Debian user from the mid 90's, I was keen to give it a try and 
once I got over my years old dislike of Gnome, I found LMDE quite 
respectable although it's not as user ready as 'Buntu based Mint. 
However, LMDE is very young and I have no doubt it will get up to speed. 
I installed it on a P3 700MHz desktop with 768M RAM, a P4 3GHz desktop 
with 1G RAM and, on an old Acer Travelmate with a 2.4GHz processor and 
1.2GB RAM. In all cases LMDE loaded more quickly than Mint 9 KDE on 
those machines. USB didn't work 'out of the box' on the laptop and 
that's just an observation, not criticism. I think LMDE looks promising.
