mint 8 gets a good review

Check out the Linux Mint 8.0 review at IT Reviews. A few problems with audio, but as the reviewer said:

As for the rest? Everything worked, and worked well. For a home machine Mint has real credentials. It adapted to our test home network easily enough and found our NAS drives with no hassle. It's also efficient, comes with a wisely-chosen collection of software and achieves an admirable balance between power and lack of hassle. The best Mint yet, as you'd hope, but also a real temptation for Windows users looking to move across to Linux.

I'm still using Mint 5.0 (Elyssa), which is the most recent LTS (Long-term support) version; I like sticking with LTS versions so I'll probably skip Mint 8.0. I think that Mint 9 will be the next LTS version.
