Linux Mint

Eu n sei vocês mas eu gosto do Linux Mint (http://www.linuxmint.com/), um linux com uma proposta muito boa

"The purpose of Linux Mint is to provide a desktop operating system that home users and
companies can use at no cost and which is as efficient, easy to use, and elegant as
possible.
One of the ambitions of the Linux Mint project is to become the best operating system
available by making it easy for people to get to use advanced technologies, rather than by
simplifying them (and thereby reducing their capabilities), or by copying the approaches
taken by other developers.
The goal is to develop our own idea of the ideal desktop. We think that it is best to make
the most out of the modern technologies that exist under Linux and make it easy for
everybody to use its most advanced features."

Um bom conjunto de software instalados por padrão.

depois de um "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" a próxima coisa a se fazer e que eu sempre esqueço, por isso que eu to escrevendo aki é: sudo aptitude install build-essential, ai vai instalar um monte coisa necessária para você compilar varias outras ( digamos: Pacote com as ferramentas de desenvolvimento de software básico de Sistemas Linux) !!!!!
