Wasn’t three the fourth Fibonacci number? (0)1-1-2-3-5-8-13…
XD
Hi Lixfan 2 is the third Fibonacci number
Maybe stick figures only count unique numbers.
Nice newsletter. The hardware news were particularily delicious.
It’s very nice to know Linux will be the first to support USB 3.0. Let’s just hope USB memory manufacturers won’t lag too much.
I want a USB 3.0 memory stick really badly. That will make Mint speed up A LOT! 
Yeah, I see now… Gotta get back to math class Lol
Why dont you develop a linux mint, that just has the absolute bares bones of a system. such as the ability to detect your internet with a browser, chat, skype, photo viewer, and maybe with a word processor and the ability to save to your usb or drive and a program that could possibly fix your mint system. it would initially boot up with the web and the other apps loaded when asked for. this would make it a super face system and would be very handy for finding answers to your broken system. just a thought.
To All Linux Mijnt user: Do you guys esxperience freeze and hibernate not working on this new linux mint? Does Gloria fix intel bug?
@ Milk:
are you kidding me….. “that has the absolute bare bones of a system” . And after that you say: “chat,skype,photo viewer” . Those are propably the last to be nominated as “barebone system programs” ……
@ newsletter:
well…. new to linux mint, so no comparison material…. but I like it.
Also, new to Mint – I like it so far (Used Gentoo/Ubuntu in the past).
@8 Afraca — I agree – I’d like a more minimal install, for example no Thunderbird, etc… and Sun Java, the Mint version causes some crashes/weirdness in my apps (I’m a Java Dev).
Awesome distro though!
