Preach it. I'm writing this on a laptop with the latest version of Linux Mint.
I have the feeling that this may be what is infecting a relative's computer from that description I've read. She called me late last week and said that she'd opened an email from a friend with what was supposed to be photos. Her anti-virus warned her not to open it, but she did anyway. The way she described it, opening the file installed something, which took her to websites, which installed something she couldn't stop, which did something else, and then it gets garbled. She isn't quite sure.
Ooopsie.
Anyone want to guess what I'm doing this weekend?
I hate Windows.
Hey, another Minter here. Although Clement Lefebvre (sp?) (main Mint developer) asked supporters of Israel to neither contribute funds to or use Mint. I missed seeing such a restriction in the underlying general public license, so I enjoy Mint nonetheless.
It’s great to have a dual boot machine and Mint on a “disposable” laptop.
