As my end-users continue to have their home computers 'crash and burn' ("windows32.dll corrupt---please buy again"), I've been offering them the choice of Linux Mint. They are loving it! Keep up the great work Clem, et.al. Regarding terrorism, who started what, etc. Terrorism by ANYONE is an act of cowardice. It cannot be legitimized, or defended.

oh my goodness, we are commenting about this interview about mint linux aren't we? lol, u guys are funny.. seriously, just use whatever you want to use for whatever reason that u want to use it.
peace out

I see no reason to discuss it anymore, if You want to live in a dreamland then so be it but stop convincing anyone about things you have no idea about. The world is not always sweet and happy and the truth is no more there. If any medias would start broadcasting that the palestinians are the victims then they would immediately be called antisemites etc. There is no more room for such truth in official media. Deal with it. Only internet is not encoumebered with so many lies YETt.

2009-06-26T02:01:42.008-07:00

why, because Israel has better aim than Palestinians, are they chastised and the Arabs get a free pass?

2009-06-25T08:36:55.620-07:00

Totally agree with above comment. Here's some stats to back it up:

Since September 2000, 123 Israeli children have been killed by Palestinians. 1,487 Palestinian children have been killed by Israelis.

0 Israeli homes have been demolished by Palestinians and 18,147 Palestinian homes have been demolished by Israel since 1967.

Israel's the victim, eh?

@Bob
Sorry mate but you have watched too much official TV, in fact the first suicide bombing was commited by an israeli person. They are killing hundreds for one killed israeli. They have nuclear bombs and nobody says anything against this, isn't this weird? They get billions of dollars from USA, they are the strongest force there. Israel is killin many innocent people but you normally won't see that in the news, israel is ALWAYS the poor innocent one. Israel was created to cause instability in the middle east. The suicide bombers, they are too poor to have any guns so they choose to fight this way. I understand Clem in what he claims BUT he was too harsh since most israelis don't fight, they are merely puppets. People that wanted You believe that israel is the victim succeeded. To discover the truth you can't rely only on TV, start digging and you'll discover the truth.

@P
Israel is a threat to who? Those who walk into a wedding party and blow up the place? Those who fire rockets indiscriminately into cities and innocent children are killed? Yes, you're right, they are a threat to those things. He clearly stated if you supported Israel then he didn't you using Mint or your support. I will gladly comply. For now i will use Ubuntu until there is a better Debian based distro with Gnome.

2009-06-23T09:10:13.810-07:00

@Bob
Do you realize that Israel is the real threat?? Why do You care what is his opinion on that?? Does it affect Linux Mint in any way?? It's democracy and everyone can have their own opinion. You don't have to accept his views. Just use Linux Mint because it's great.

Another former Mint user here, repulsed by the pro-terrorist and subversive comments by Clem.

Piotrek, Bob - My point exactly (I am repulsed).

@Anonymous
I haven't read Clem's post about that but i agree with it at some point and also disagree. While majority of israel users are the same hard working people as You or me then it was probably posted to raise awareness. I think the ultimate point is to be above all this and create an Open Source utopia which is possible in the IT world ;)

2009-06-22T01:23:47.029-07:00

oi_antz, I appreciate what you are saying about Clem's "love and passion". I also think Mint is excellent. What the other Anonymous (my name is Bob) reacts to, however, is Clem's wish that no supporter of Israel would use Mint. There I must agree with Anonymous -- what a pity! Linux Mint should bring people together and not push some away (repulse them..). I hope Mint can form a users base without political filtering. There are other forums for politics, aren't there?

"Huge fan.. now repulsed" - What a narrow view, to think any human product is either attractive or repulsive depending on a reaction to any opinion! Mate, Clem's work is a product of love and passion and it shows, and that is why OSS is the ultimate bounty - a gift and contribution from one person with love, for MY appreciation and ALL OF OURS !!

2009-06-20T04:55:59.433-07:00

Very interesting inerview! I like Linux Mint because you can start working, surfing the web, listening to music or watching video from the very beginning after the installation. You don't need to waste your time on such thing as looking for proper drivers for your hardware (you can install the missing drivers with only one click), codeks, java, flash - everything is here in Linux Mint and working great!!! Thank you Clem and all the people who work over this great distro!

ps As for Clem's personality - he is not afraid to speak the truth about bad things that happen on our planet and many people appreciate it and support him.

2009-06-19T22:47:56.396-07:00

To be honest I really admire your dedication and work. This distribution is stable, very friendly and powerful. At this time I've "convert" around 20 pc's and Laptops to Mint. My parents who are not computer literate at all, are amazed with my laptop and they have asked me to substitute their Windows XP OS and install LM. Sure I will. Congrats and keep up the excellent work. You are not alone.

2009-06-19T07:18:45.935-07:00

I'm amazed how far you went with just 5-6 people. This distribution is OFF THE HOOK! Keep up the good work Clem! Like we say here in Quebec, "LÂCHE PAS LA PATATE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best thing about Clem is his real emotions. he loves green color, peace and the easyness and he hate wars, people who made the wars and hardness ..
go on Clem, we are with you ...

2009-06-17T18:55:09.837-07:00

I was a fan, for all the reasons stated above, until Clem's blog post where he blasted anyone who supported Israel, prefering they don't use or support Linux Mint. Linux shouldn't be political, and he should know that. It makes me wonder what other wild turns the distro will take under his leadership. If an artist, developer, actor chooses to inflict knowledge of their politics on me, then I will invariably choose not to support politics I disagree with. Again, until that point.. Huge fan.. now repulsed.

I realy like the up to point not shy aproach of linux mint as some eddition do as saing that is a bit like windows or you can do that by doin that and that and that and that instead of just doing one think and voala :-) I first started with linux MINT 5 which brought me to the linux word and I have tied a lot of distroes and linux mint is the one wich is in my heart probably because it show me thw door to the linux world and I love it.
