[QUOTE="Now Playing, post: 112664, member: 2381"] As Gert says, go with Ubuntu, particularly as there's a lot of new stuff in the release you're using and I've no idea how current or stable the Mint implementation is at this juncture. Regarding one partition, backup your data, reboot from the Ubuntu CD and have it install rather than fire up the Live CD. When prompted tell it to use your entire disk - it'll do the partitioning etc automagically. Re the purple (not seen it, I'm too lazy to upgrade at present) it's changeable: http://tipsforu2010.blogspot.com/2011/04/change-login-screen-in-ubuntu-1104.html This website contains a lot of handy stuff to get you going with mp3, dvd playback etc. (i.e. all the proprierary stuff) with a few clicks. http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Natty Oh, if you find yourself missing mp3tag, install puddletag. Guess you're not ALL old dog :P [/QUOTE]
