Hey howdy folks,

Anyone here using Linux Mint? Hows the experience been?

I know this ain't a linux forum, but just got a new laptop and want to toy around with a user friendly version of linux which my wife can use and something that I can use to play with Linux in general and Perl/bash in particular. Its mostly windows and some Redhat 5.8 (heck, 3 linux servers to be precise) at work, but at home, I need to meddle with Linux and with bash and Perl.

So anyone here using Linux Mint (especially Linux Mint 15 on a thinkpad), hows it going so far? Can I take the perl and bash scripts written on Linux Mint and use them on the RHEL 5.8?

Note - I am sorry if I posted this more than once, I should have read the Formatting Tips before I posted it here first time, but fixed the format later.
