Linux Mint announcement today
« on: April 01, 2009, 07:55:52 pm »
Linux Mint 2 released!

Written by Clem on Wednesday, April 1st, 2009 @ 5:13 pm | Main Topics

The team is proud to announce the immediate release of Linux Mint 2!

Linux Mint 2 is a giant step forward. Based and compatible with Windows Vista, with full DirectX support it comes with all the tools you need to start being productive: a text editor, a disk defragmenter, a command prompt, the demo of an antivirus and some 3rd party software to play the first 10 minutes of your favorite DVDs!

For as little as $299 you can get your copy of Linux Mint 2 shipped to your door step. Each copy sold comes with a certificate of “guaranteed sense of security” which protects you against our own software patents Worlwide!

Why would you assume that?

Uh, the windows emblem in the attached image is kind of a dead give-away.
