Smile Mint is favored at my home


Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa on two laptops and two desktop boxes. Also have Knoppix, WIFISlax, Porteus, Stella, Tails, 4M, on disc or flash drives for playing around with and occasional use.
Gave up winbloze two years ago for good after about ten years of experimenting and waiting for Linux to become a drop in replacement for winbloze, requiring few skills to install or use daily. Actually, its become easier and faster to install and use. Look at the hours of updates windoze now requires after a fresh install, absolutely insane! I use Terrabyteunlimited.com for drive imaging. Its the only software one needs to pay for, for a complete and easy Linux experience. I know there is free stuff out there but this is so easy to use if one is familiar with the old Paragon Drive Image program for windoze. I get my computers for free now when friends or family upgrade and my software is 99.99% free. Life is good!
