Loyal got me into Mint also and I love the hell out of it! One keeps hearing that "Linux isn't ready for the desktop" or such but I believe that Mint (and other *buntu derivatives) make this a difficult statement to defend. I found Vista to be much more alien (after using XP) than Mint, and the amount of drive space I saved by dumping Vista was unbelievable!
Cogito ergo Linux,
