If we took a vote on who genetates the most "noise" as you put it,
I would bet money you'd be victorious in this area. How about
we go back to discussing ram boards, cost, availability for example?

Here we are discussing an actual aspect of mint, and I still think
kellis has a point. My setup also works, however as I said before
in a previous post you completely ignored is that newcomers who
have failed attempts at installing mint move on to some other
operating system. Is that what you want?
