Mint is great, I have it on dual boot. The more one learns about Linux they can move past the mass distributions like Mint, or not. Thing is it is a choice how a person advances, nothing forced. And free and user supported.
Will admit I like the old DOS days and lower level system control which Linux offers if a person wants to go there. Don't have to go that deep into the system though with the mass distro's.
Linux in some ways reminds me of the old Windows systems. :) I also remember the days of DOS and command lines.

You and BirdDog have been using computers for considerably longer than me. The first computer I used on a regular basis had Windows 95. I had a Commodore VIC20 and 64 when I was a kid, but I never really did much with them. A kid came up one day and connected a tape drive to the 64 and did some things and I thought it were fascinating, and I was amazed that you could do that, though it didn't stick enough to make me want to learn computers, at that point.
Had I known where we'd be today and I might have done things a little diffferently. Heck, had I known where we'd be today I would have invested in AOL at their first offering and gotten out in the early 2000s. LOL.
