Most people don't realise that the cube is 3 dimensional and not just left and right? I can't imagine using 20 sides of a cube in 3D!

I probably should have said Icosahedron. :lol:

Oh it must have taken them ages to build the script that will automate it. Someone over on their forum did bring up a good point about where the updates will be coming from.

I imagine they would be coming from Conical or Mint repro's. I can't see CUSA doing it. Because lets face it they are offering no other support other than the forum community and a link to the Mint forums.

Well it seems that it has been released. However it appears that only the first ISO out of the promised two is actually available so far. People are starting to seed it across torrents and CUSA are asking that people increase their upload limits to allow others to get it quicker. I doubt we will see any kind of imformative "review" except for the usual bunch of shotgun reviews you often get with the fanatical types.
 
C-A.org seems to be having a spike in guests but the same 13 members seem to be lurking there all day.
 
Obviously the release was delayed for some reason, I pretty much assume the line about last minuet bugs was more a case of smoke and mirrors because of certain ceremonies that went on today.
 
Thats pretty much it though. To say they have been banging on about this OS for a while it's entered the world to very little fanfair.

Why download it? I have Ubuntu running on my machine and also have Linux Mint on a live DVD. I think I whip up a review for it in no time :)
 
in fact here is a taster.

Bottom line it's no different to any other distro. It tries to be flashy but holds no real substance. Which is odd considering how bloated it is.

BTW Kesa I love your avatar image. It pretty much sums up my mood here at work.

There has been a few times where I have looked at someone and thought "are you doing it to wind people up or you really that stupid".

They are using compiz and the emerald window editor thing. That's how the visual effects are been performed. To be honest I am not a fan but hey oh.

Without downloading I couldn't be sure. However I wouldn't think they would go through the hassle of setting up their own repository.

Its because it is full of magic and fairy dust. Can't you see the ISO glisten with wonderous energies :D

Why flame you.... It's your decision at the end of the day. If it makes you happy then go for it.

Is it possible the source is MacBuntu instead of Mint?  That sure looks like MacBuntu...





Thats awesome. If you didn't notice the icon issues you would almost swear thats OSX :roflmao:

That sounds like a lot of stuff to keep up with. It's a wonder why it hasn't imploded yet.
