> If you want to run Linux on your laptop, don't use either. Actually CentOS 6.4 has been the most reliable thing on my Lenovo T61, T400 and Dell T3500. Everything works from hibernate, sleep, WiFi, SAS, SSD's out of the box with no configuration. This is the polar opposite of Ubuntu, Debian stable, Debian testing and Mint which are royal bastards to get off the ground.

>Mint Never again. Always seemed laggy. I just loaded Scientific Linux 6.3 on 3 old thinkpads this past weekend. As you said, everything works. No "sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf", no modprobe & ndiswrapper. Red Hat was my first peek at linux, so I'm a tad nostalgic (remember 9.1? crux, luxi sans?). There is a super useful guide for the final polish on a EL6 system (extra repos, Flash, VLC, ..) here: http://astr.tohoku.ac.jp/~akhlaghi/newlinux.html http://astr.tohoku.ac.jp/~akhlaghi/newlinux.html
