Nice!  Thank you.  Despite your misgivings on the distribution, I appreciate
your recommendation of it.  I have read of other reviews of the OS, but I can't
recall when or where I saw them.  :)

I'm kinda pre-disposed to using a recent Puppy Linux, 6.0.2-something.  I
already have a copy and have run it once or twice on two of my machines, just
from a USB boot.  It has 'promise', particularly as it supposedly can use
Ubuntu packages.

OTOH, I have a hankering to run Xubuntu but that really depends on what they'll
do with the next LTS version due in April.  I've been running their 14.04 LTS
on & off in a VirtualBox and found it to be "useable".  :)  I intend to hang on
to Windows 8 till the X'u '.1' update that might sprout in June, or maybe
October.

I'm happy to give Mint a whirl in a VirtualBox, based on your say-so.  I'm not
averse to command line voodoo mumbo-jumbo but your insider knowledge has
already given me an 'edge'.  :)  Thank you.

Cheers,
Paul.

... Pun: the lowest form of humor, unless you thought of it first.
