Introduction.

I suffered a network problem this week, that I misdiagnosed as being a laptop problem, when in fact, it was my router.

This in a round about way, led me to Install the latest version of Linux Mint - 9 Isadora, based on Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid Lynx, which in turn uses the amazing Debian core.

Enough reviews can be found around the Internet singing its praises, without me adding to the tune, but it truly is an excellent release.

Why is [http://www.go-compiz.org Compiz] better, possibly the reflection properties and the integration of the application within Gutsy Gibbon or Hardy Heron. As pretty much everything you need is already installed this section will focus more on the operational settings that enable you to enjoy the eyecandy rather than an installation matters.
