Thank you for sharing this, Kaptain Bug.
Linux Mint "Qiana" sounds
very tempting especially after reading more & more of it's praises, and now this!
@illumination , reading how you've changed out Windows OS for Linux on your configuration sounded quite impressive, and gave me pause for thought!
Although I may not be willing to uninstall Windows, jumping ship from 8.1 for Linux on my own newer lap top,
just yet, do you think Mint could possibly work well on the same old Tower PC which houses XP that I've awakened, sandboxed, added Time Freeze to the arsenal, and where lubuntu is also duel booted?
It sports the
dyed hard in the wool Pentium 4 CPU with a whopping
1 GB RAM!
