Oh wow, I'm liking Mint! Ubuntu it's been fun. So where do you sign up
for the Mint list? Thanks to everyone here for their contributions! I
gave the Unity toolbar six months, but I'm D-O-N-E.

Mint looks nice but... what's under the bonnet? I had a number of
issues with Mint when i tried it.

I looked at Xubuntu; i still think that Canonical produces the best
system - with Xubuntu i was not disappointed. many folk have started
using xubuntu and i see it getting more established... and deservedly
so.

You are D-O-N-E, that's okay but just (as a matter of interest) could you elaborate the areas you faced any (or some, if) faced the problem using Ubuntu?

X-U-B-U-N-T-U. Why not try it before abandoning ship?

Lol, I think it might be unity itself. Anyways, I'm going to be giving
Xubuntu and Kubuntu a spin myself this week. I've read that Kubuntu
isn't that great, but the sources could be wrong. Should OpenSUSE be
used to try out KDE?

I'm CONSTANTLY bumping into the Unity toolbar. If I go for back
button, I overshoot, out comes the toolbar now blocking said button.
Same goes for the close, maximize & minimize button. The Unity toolbar
sounds right, looks cool I actually WANTED to like it, but in the end
I just didn't like it.

XUBUNTU vs Mint. I'm not really sure I understand the
advantages/disadvantages? Thanks!

I assume you're talking about the Launcher. Have you tried having it
not auto-hide (so it's just there all the time)? I'm not at my home
(Ubuntu) box now, but I think it's in the compiz settings manager
(cssm?). Maybe in an "experimental" tab.
I agree that's a ridiculous place for it (and the Launcher icon sizing
pref) to be. I think the reasonable user expectation is that you
should just right mouse on the Launcher and get a "Launcher
properties" option. Or maybe put it with the other preferences. But
burying it in cssm is absurd. Also, I think many people have already
wondered why it can't be relocated to the bottom (default loc for the
Mac) or RHS.
