Trench’s adventures in Linux: Linux Mint 17 XFCE
There’s only one thing better than a new Linux Mint release and that’s when they release the new XFCE version of their distro. If you need to get some work done and need everything to just work this is a great distro for that and the XFCE desktop allows it to be used productively on…

That means by the time November rolls around all the *buntu remixes are released which in many cases are better than the original. For example take Voyager that is based on Xubuntu. It’s been…
