Linux Mint 9 (Out at last)

I was using Linux Mint 8 for almost 6 months now. Even though I was a Linux enthusiast and promoted its use verbally for Server side usage very strongly. I thought of using Linux as a serious Desktop system after my visit to Dar Es Salam, Tanzania last year where I visited a vendor for my official purpose and saw them using Fedora as a Desktop operating system. With Linux Mint 8 last (2009) December I started using Linux as my Desktop operating system and I enjoyed using it every moment till now with a very little exceptions with which I can very much live on without them. I was very much eager for the launch of Linux Mint 9 which happened yesterday night (Dubai time).

Have downloaded the RC which is available and is installing it now. As of now I don't feel that there is much difference other then the cosmetics as the team has tried to give almost the same look and feel of version 8 even though it is built on Ununtu 10.04 LTS. The boot screen is the same as Lucid but with Linux Mint logo and green dots. I had installed the OS in a VirtualBox system inside my Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 Laptop running Linux Mint 8. The OS looks light even on a 512MB RAM setting of VirtualBox.

I will update more later.....

I was looking for an online diagram creating tool. Came across Gliffy.com where I could create actually great looking diagrams without much of learning curve. The tool is 1. Very easy to use 2.

There are options to export the diagrams you created to SVG, JPEG, PNG and XML format once you register for free on the website. Once you register you can save the diagrams that you created in the site itself and retrieve it at a later time by logging into the website. I made three diagrams and it was real easy and simple. The site has two kind of pa
