by all means, butt in. :-)
The funny thing is that Mint just released Ver 8 today.

Interestingly enough...the one thing I have with Linux distros is the 'push' to upgrade the kernel as soon as a new version comes out. So what?
I mean, isn't this the most irritating thing about Windows? Push, push, push.
If the bloody thing works, why upgrade it? I'm using Linux Mint 6 and it's the bomb. I ain't upgrading diddly.
