Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Thanks. Cinnamon or MATE?
SJVN likes Cinnamon - http://www.zdnet.com...nux-mint-13/11110 , but I've read about teething problems with it (heat, CPU fan running continuously, etc., etc.). http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/?p=190

I understand that Cinnamon is based on GNOME 3.x while MATE is a fork of 2.x. It looks like all of the versions of Ubuntu I've used are based on GNOME 2.x so I'd probably go with MATE unless there is something I've missed.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Scott.
New Your choice.
Cinnamon I think is the better way to go in the long run... but MATE may work better.

If I ever get sick of XFCE, (which I probably won't) I'll probably try both and see what tickles me.
