Hi everyone!

This is my second venture into linux having tinkered briefly about 18 months ago. After recently trying to partition my hdd things went horribly wrong and my windows 7 os was vaporised. Luckily i had 95% of my system backed up. But now I have decided I no longer wish to be governed by MS and linuxmint 12 will be my os for now. Thanks in advance for any help along the way, Cheers Dave

Welcome, aussiedave! Cannot change the past, but perhaps we can help in the future with your GNU/Linux questions!

Gidday mayte!

Welcome to this great community - Mint is cool, MS is a flaming Galar!

Thanks Darwin, yeah I was become increasingly annoyed with MS. I feel liberated, and now "I own" my computer it feels huncky dorey lol.

LOL yes MS always made me think that even though I paid for my machines that they had me by the gonads so to speak.

Hello and welcome! I'm
Sorry that happened to you... I've only been using Linux for a week or so so I'm hoping that doesn't happen to me. Would you know if it happens a lot with Mint?

Thanks

I drifted off it too, but I'm gonna be dual booting with Ubuntu soon! Hope to see you around the forums, and enjoy your stay!
