Well, downloaded Mint 12 and installed on a stick. It opens on my Toshiba and recognizes my wireless connection where Ubuntu 10.04 didn’t. BUT. I can find no way to add a printer. I scanned Google and see that Ubuntu 11/Mint 12 have a problem with their printer installer. There ya go...
Sorry folks, but with stuff like this, Linux isn’t ready for prime time. This merely shows why Linux continues to be a geek system and nothing but frustration for the average Joe.
Oh, not to mention the continued reliance on terminal/sudo commands and such (that’s so DOS 3.0...)
And how did PCLinuxOS work for you? Or didn’t you try it?
