]]> Comment on Linux Mint one year later by Anonymous http://www.geekwhitenorth.com/linux-mint-one-year-later/comment-page-1/#comment-12 Anonymous Sun, 03 Aug 2008 09:06:00 +0000 http://www.geekwhitenorth.com/?p=172#comment-12 Cool. But PCLOS has not changed to Gnome, it's still primarily KDE-based. There is a Gnome Remaster used by some (I'm one of them), and it's great, but PCLOS has not changed to Gnome. Stating otherwise is technically incorrect. Just wanted to clear that up. <br/><br/> That said, Linux Mint is looking nicer all the time, but I'm not pleased that there is no clear upgrade path with it, and reinstalls are necessary if you wish to install the newest version. Other than that, it's quite a nice bit of kit. Cool. But PCLOS has not changed to Gnome, it’s still primarily KDE-based.
