The latest version of the Gnome Display Manager blows monkey chunks.  It isn't customisable and to top off that insult, it's completely hideous!  Shame on you guys, fix it!!  One of the main selling points of Linux/related apps is the tweakability factor so let's keep that in mind shall we??

Yes, I know I posted a pretty good review of Linux Mint 8 and I stand by my review of Mint itself.  Clem & Co. have as usual, outdone themselves.  However, I ended up going back to Linux Mint Gloria due to the problems with Ubuntu Karmic, which is what Mint is based directly on.  Version 9.10 of Ubuntu is a huge disappointment, which is having a direct impact on Linux Mint.  Due to the instabilities and crashing issues with Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) I reinstalled Linux Mint 7, which I loved.  However, I do miss the updated features of Linux Mint 8 and hopefully Linux Mint 9 will have none of the same problems.

Okay my review of Linux Mint 8 is out and can be read here and of course, right on my website, NewLinuxUser.net.  Have as much fun reading it as I did writing it and don't forget to give Linux Mint a visit. Congratulations to Clem Lefebvre and the gang for yet another great distro!
