Ubuntu, Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE), Lubuntu, Debian, PopOS, and Zorin. Todd Merriman Software Toolz, Inc.

If you're running CentOS 6 to avoid that, you're out of luck. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>

I gave Mate a try briefly, but ran into some issues that I don't recall just now. I'll give it another try, but I may just give up and switch to Mint. The major issue for my doing that is the package manager, since I have several custom packages that are RPMs. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.
