Thanks for your review, interesting enterprise spin on things I have to digest, I have just installed Mint at home having settled on that distro after a year or so of playing with different distros.
Whilst you have looked at Mint as a long time linus user, I can add as a relative linux noob very minimal windows transition pain with mint.
Ran the livecd in the office this morning and made my boss "spin out" with the compiz cube thing.
Thanks for your reply / More Mint on the way

Thanks for your post. I have to admit that while I test all sorts of Linux distros with the enterprise focus, the one I keep coming back to, both professionally and personally is Mint.
Mint 4.0 has been dead solid for me, and is what I run my main Enterprise desktop and laptop on. What is interesting to me about that is there are desktop Linuxii that are supposedly more Enterprise, like Suse and Redhat, but they just don't work as well for me as Mint.
Mint in turn is based off Ubuntu, which is a great distro in its own right, and the 8.04 "Hardy Heron" Beta I was working with over the weekend on my IBM X30 laptop makes me think that when the Mint 5.0 version based off it comes out, it is going to be another terrific version.
