Fedora 26 Upgrade
Just downloaded 2679 individual rpms (2598 MB) in 26:56. The small ones always slow it down, but well under 30' is surely a record for me.

Mint is a lovelier flavor. ;)
Yep. LOL.
I actually downloaded Linux Mint 18.2 64 bit Cinnamon last night and I'm going to install it on a spare HDD in this desktop. I just want to play around with it some. I've done that with other versions of Linux Mint in the past, then get bored of it. Then again, I usually download and install MATE (I have that on my original desktop build (17.1)). Perhaps Cinnamon will be more interesting.
I've only ever downloaded/installed Ubuntu and Mint(Cinnamon). I think Mint is the friendliest for my level.

I think Mint is the friendliest, too, though it still takes some getting used to if you aren't familiar with it.
I installed it, then downloaded the "manual" to read about it. After reading about how important it is to choose a strong password, which I didn't do with the original install, I reinstalled it. I also learned more about what I should and should not update. Basically, I should have read through the manual first, but I sometimes flip through magazines from back to front, so why not do this in reverse order, too, right? :p Dumb move. Lesson learned.
Anyway, at least it's set up properly now, though I still have to "fine tune" it to my liking. I doubt that I will ever switch to Linux Mint as my regular OS, but it will be fun to play around with.
