Seems to be working OK (after my broadband came back to life while a Tiscali rep and I were trying to understand one another on my dreadful mobile.)

And Mint 9 is out:

Now to join the thousands undoubtedly downloading it as I write.

I'd still like a look at Zorin. Have you seen how much stuff has to be "allowed" before the download will commence? (Actually, I don't know myself yet - eventually chickened out and decided to try it another day.)

No joy with Peppermint, either. Using Unetbootin to put it on a flash drive let me fire it up on the Eee PC, but I couldn't get Google Docs to launch. Firefox was fine, though.

And it flatly refused to run on the Virtual Box machine. I need a modest lotto win for some new hardware, I think!
