Nice. I used One, a year or so back I think it was. Daughter was using it before I replaced it with full Ubuntu. Might go back to Three. Read other reviews and they said good things about it too. Like others say, can always install other Ubuntu stuff if one needs to.

You’re welcome. It’s a great distro and had a great time reviewing it.

[...] Peppermint OS Three Review Peppermint OS Three, released yesterday picks up from where it left off in version two of this great lightweight distribution. It is based on an Ubuntu 12.04 variant, called LUbuntu which is geared towards the lightweight end of things. Peppermint OS Three is using Openbox as its desktop environment. [...]

I’ve used every version since Peppermint One on my desktop; four, including Ice. Peppermint was my very first Linux distro, in fact, a couple of months after it was born. I install a couple of things from outside that I work with all the time, add a few others from repositories and I’m done. Something might go wrong now and then, but it’s very, very rare. Peppermint just keeps on going, mostly. People like to get a lot of stuff in a distro, it seems, but this is a better idea, for me anyhow. Thanks for the nice review.

I agree wiith your point it is almost a “clean” distribution. Some lightweight desktops overdo it on the pre-installed apps which Peppermint does not.

Too bad I can’t use it on my Asus Transformer Prime it would give it some extra life where Android seems to lack.

I agree Peppermint is a great OS for netbooks(I run it on my Cr-48 flawlessly) and I don’t see what would keep anyone from running it on a desktop, since it’s based on Ubuntu you have access to thousands of programs if you’re not into the whole cloud thing. I like it particularly because it’s light on pre-installed apps. It saves me the time of removing default apps and installing the ones I like to use.
