I am a linux mint user and I love it but and that's a big but I am having trouble installing aplications because I am new to linux in general.

Just wanted to say that I agree 100% about internet dependencies. If this runs smoothly, you'll have one more supporter. Thanks for the OS.

Honestly people who spread that kind of wrong information should be ashamed. Unfortunately that misleading article is still one of the first Google results... Also I completely agree with you that it is way better to have an OS that has all codecs & important apps (Java etc.) included out-of-the-box than the necessity to download them afterwards from the internet. I'm glad you pointed out the dependency on the internet, which disturbed me in the past and still disturbs me. Surprisingly enough the majority of people still seem to be very happy with online installation. Obviously they don't realize how they make themselves dependent on online ressources and that they are fucked if either they have no internet, their internet provider has a system failure or the repositories are offline. Yes - that latter one happens sometimes and shortly I've read a whole lot of people crying in pain because their "awesome apt" didn't work at all for a whole day. Most people claim that this does not happen very often and say it's good to go. But the point is, it does happen, and it also leads to the fact that you would not be able to install a fully featured OS autonomously without internet. That said, I am glad there are people like you who keep working on standalone compilations of Linux providing an experience that includes most commonly used features which people expect in a today's OS :) <em>hacktolive says:</em> Exactly, one of the reasons I make Super OS and am involved in open-source is to "liberate" people. In this case, I offer an usable system, even for people without internet connection (or for people that don't want to depend on the internet for basic stuff like installing software!)
