> Mint is a *wonderful* distro, esp. for newbs (IMHO)! Very user-friendly, very good drivers (at least I've had no issues using it on two different laptops), and it has a nice desktop. I am still using Mint 6 (Felicia), not because the newer versions aren't great but I've reached a comfort zone. I'm sure everyone else has mentioned this by now but it's terribly easy to download a distro and burn to disk, even if it makes you uncomfortable at first...don'

Had to jump in because Mark and I both went to Mint about the same
time. If you need help and suggestions how to download and and
burn your own free copy of Mint, let us know. This group can be
very helpful. I assume you are coming from Windows so I feel
Mint is an excellent choice. I am a heavy-duty technical guy so
even though you might find those that say that Mint is too much a
newbie distro, I am here to tell you that Mint is for those who
just want the distro to be easy and to work.
