Hi David, installing Warcfat 3 in Ubuntu/Mint is easy and painless. First install wine:

I first started in Linux with Mepis6.0, then 6.5 came out and I couldn’t keep it running, probably user error. Then i distro hopped for about 2 months then i found PCLinuxOS and loved it for about 6 months and then I did an upgrade and the whole thing went Kabblooy! I reinstalled it again and upgraded, but again with the Kabblooy. So I heard about Mint and after a day or so of putting personal tweaks I found the program to make my own live CD of Mint and made a backup, so when i crashed it removing some stuff that Mint couldn’t live without, my reinstall was completely painless and the system was exactly how I had it before I went stupid. I’ve been running it for a couple of months and I’ve been Mint’in it every since. Thanx to the folks who came up with this wonderful distro. I do still check out other distros but for now Mint is my main Amigo.

can’t wait to see where these magicians go from here.

You Sir are exactly right about Linux Mint! I installed it two days ago on my laptop and absolutely love the interface! I use Ubuntu at work and two other machines in my house run Hardy now also, but I’ve thought about just reloading them with Mint b/c of the special care and time spent making it visually appealing and very functional. Everything works right out of the box, just like Ubuntu, but beautified and cleanly laid out. Outstanding work Linux Mint team, way to go!

Thanks for the review. It pretty much sums up my own feelings about this distribution. Over the past few years I have become increasingly dissatisfied with M$, not only the quality of their products, but also their business policies, company direction, and general philosophy on a boatload of issues. For some time now I’ve thought of abandoning this sinking ship for a different O.S., but all the Linux distros I tried fell short in their ability to function with completeness “out of the box”……. that is until now. Enter Linux Mint. Wow! This is one eye opening distribution, and is, in my opinion, the best effort to date to lure others wanting to to make a glass smooth transition from M$ to Linux. I am anxiously awaiting the release of Linux Mint 5 in May. Yes, smitten by the lovely Elyssa!

Most PC users aren’t software programmers. As such, they have zero interest in solving PC software problems.

They want to be able to insert an installation disk and have a fully functional operating system an hour later.

They don’t want to spend time solving PC problems. They want their PCs to save them time by solving their problems.

The creators of Linux Mint, unlike some Linux zealots, understand this.

If one day Linux rivals or surpasses Windows, credit will go to those who created such distros as Mint and PCLOS.

If, on the other hand, the Linux zealots who equate using the terminal with membership in MENSA have their way, Linux will remain a “coulda, shoulda, woulda” curiosity.

The title of your review says it all! I also found it be really very user-friendly. I am waiting eagerly for its next release Elyssa.
