Re: RC2 feedback
If it's any help to the devs, as a process of elimination, the BCM4312 in my netbook works flawlessly in MX-14 RC2. (Also ok in PCLos but Mint requires proprietary drivers but easily added).

Re: First impressions (feedback) and persistence
I wasn't having a pop at MX - it is a generalised comment about linux documentation! Mepis manuals and wiki are second to none and am simply endorsing the desire for documentation for "the rest of us". I haven't found a specific MX manual yet though have seen the video and looked at antiX ...

Re: First impressions (feedback) and persistence
Thanks. Had to fiddle a bit to get a splash in Mint recently. Anyway, installed plymouth + plymouth-themes-all, rebooted then edited what I perceived to be the appropriate line (a bit more complicated for grub2 than grub!) and added "splash" after "quiet". The result was a sort o...

Re: First impressions (feedback) and persistence
Thanks for everyone's input here and will study all the info and links carefully. Just to clarify one point (anticapitalista), my observation re screenlets was This is often because dbus-x11 isn't installed but it is so we're agreed! In the meantime, I'm just wondering, once I come to terms with all...

Re: First impressions (feedback) and persistence
Jerry3904 Yes, I should have said that it is MX-14 RC2. Splash - OK that could be set up if installed and/or Persistence is established. Yes - live media (usb) and so as above. Sound - already tried that but still weak. With the desktops it is h/w issue reported. Compiz - but it should still be full...

First impressions (feedback) and persistence
Guess I could've contributed to another ongoing thread but don't want to break into its cosiness but have just come upon MX-14 whilst looking at an unrelated thread and thought I'd investigate. In particular. I was intrigued by two features close to my heart - Persistence and Remastering. Persistenc...

Re: Poll - Happy with KDE 4 or not?
I'm OK with the effects and not needing to invoke Compiz. I just find the tray and widgets bit far too contrived and clunky. I find screenlets much nicer but unfortunately the shadows don't work properly with KDE4.

Re: Poll - Happy with KDE 4 or not?
Not sure that I agree with that conclusion since it's the only option in Mepis and the desktop is not the only reason for upgrading.
Anyway, I stuck with 8 to avoid KDE4 (cashews, widgets et al) in 8.5 but am now looking at Mepis 11 which is the subject of a new thread not long ago...!
