Ok, ok so it wasn’t ubuntu’s fault my computer was overheating and now that I’m back up and running I have to say that I really do like Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope much more than Linux Mint.
The biggest reason, Mint is kind of like Mac it’s linux spoon fed to you with a pretty wrapper, however most of the wrapper isn’t edible nor would you have seconds of the bits that were.
The look and feel is nice but who can’t change the look and feel of their linux install and gnome or kde desktop.
