Hi All, My review-of-sorts on Linux Mint Cinnamon...
________________________________________________________ I have been running the Cinnamon DE on my Mint Box for past few months and must admit that I'm greatly impressed with it. It features a polished and elegant interface and is fluid and responsive to my workflow and computing needs. For those of you do not know about the project, Cinnamon is a fast evolving, sleek, solid and modern Linux desktop maintained by Linux Mint team and built with help of a vibrant community. It is a fork of GNOME shell team but with an intention to offer the traditional desktop metaphor to the user. With every release, developers have done a wonderful job of creating a stable environment by incrementally adding features and have made using the desktop a breeze. I would like to briefly touch upon the salient features offered by Cinnamon desktop, viz, A. Control Center / System Settings B. Cinnamon Spices C. Window / Workspace management *Control Center / System Settings* Cinnamon features a very intuitive and powerful customization tool to mandodify the desktop to one's preferences. It allows you to customize appearance like changing default font of the system, setting keyboard shortcuts, manage hardware settings (bluetooth, printers, etc) , change default behavior and administrative tasks such as adding users / groups.
