The Linux Mint BlogOur most talented artist, Carlos Porto, hit again! This time he redesigned the Linux Mint Start Page to include the 3 latest stories from the Linux Mint blog. Not only does the result look great but we’re hoping it will bring news from the team to Linux Mint users who would not necessarily know about the blog.
Note: Carlos also designed the Mint logo, the website, the forum theme and the software portal.
The Linux Mark Institute (LMI) is the exclusive licensor of the Linux trademark on behalf of its owner, Linus Torvalds. For “Linux Mint” to protect its name and be recognized as a trademark we had to get the approval of the LMI so we could use the term “Linux”.
The LMI approved Linux Mint for sublicensing and we can now use the following marks:
This approval covers both the distribution itself (downloadable ISOs) and the product associated with it (CDs, DVDs, merchandising, sticks, computers, devices..). It is also perpetual and applies worlwide.
A quick update on my progress of KDE Elyssa.
So far I have cleaned up KDE Daryna in an effort to reduce it to a CD size with the main applications like Open Office still installed, but this does not look possible. I posted about suggestions for new or different applications and got some good and helpful responses, but keep them coming if there are any more. I have spent a lot of time looking at a new theme for KDE Elyssa, a brighter one for sure. There has also been lots of great wallpapers posted in the forums lately so go have a look.
The next step is to do some alpha builds using my cut down Daryna and the Ubuntu 8.04 beta and then the RC. These alpha builds help find bugs/problems before the full Ubuntu 8.04 is released. I will also start building up my cut down Daryna with some of the old applications and some of the new ones suggested too.
Cheers Boo
