I have both Linux Mint 11 and windows 7 on my computer and I no longer want it on my computer so… ya, pretty much says it all in the title.

I have an Acer laptop installed with licensed version of windows 7. I just want to try linux mint on that laptop. If I didn’t like linux mint after I installed it, can I go back to windows 7? Does anyone have the ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I’m installing linux mint and I’m installing it along side to windows. I allocated about 100gb of space for linux and windows has about 120gb. How long should this process take?

I have a friend who has been using proprietary software since long. How can I introduce her to the open source community. Which websites should I show?
Yes everyone! I’ve shown her a DVD of Mint and she would like to join the community. Now how to take her into the community?

I have installed Ubuntu and Linux mint as dual boot many times on various computers but i have never experimented with puppy linux. Is it pretty much the same to install puppy linux as a dual boot as it is to install Ubuntu?

How can I verify that I have all these packages

# XFree86-Mesa-libGL
# libstdc++
# libgcc
# XFree86-libs
# fontconfig
# freetype
# zlib
# gcc (i have this one for sure)
I am on Linux Mint.

Hey, I’m trying to install Ubuntu from the live CD. The Ububtu option screen comes up, I select Start or Install Ubuntu from Live CD. Then the screen goes black for a moment and give a message giving some sort of timer error and for me to set noapic as a boot option, what could be causing this? I have ran Ubuntu perfectly fine in the past with most of the other versions, this is version 7.10 and it doesn’t seem to wanna work. Any help?

+ Same problem with Linux Mint 4.0

HAVE had ubuntu installed on this system before, and it’s not a dell.

Checked all the forums i can and no real solution found.

I use Linux Mint 9 and I’ve been trying to burn downloaded movies in VCD format. I’ve managed to burn a DVD with Brasero and I used K3b to burn a VCD but the picture playback was awful, it was showing in the top right quarter of my screen with what seemed to be a menu on the rest of the screen. I’ve looked at the software settings but to no avail. What software do you suggest for both quality and ease of use? Thanks in advance.
