Long term relationship with ubuntu is not good for your health. Still Mint 10 is a forked version of Maverick, it won't too hard for you to handle they used the same the commands such as apt-get or ppa. |

I wonder why you guys are installing many repos, PPAs, etc. I only installed 2 external repos, adobe repos and rpmfusion, no more, everything I need is there, if not, I'll search for an RPM or compile it from the source code. Simple as that.

To feel the true experiences of distro, am prefer to hard installed it rather than use any of these live media, usb, virtual etc etc . Off course we need bigger capacity of hd.

AFAIK, OpenOffice is kind of dead and LibreOffice, a fork of OpenOffice by Google, may has a better compatibility with MS Office, since it's development is active.
