It seems they updated the ISO's yesterday so I'm confident these are up to date.

Downloading as we speak, gonna put this on the wife's PC to see what she thinks.

Yip....managed to grap the torrent. I want the torrent cause I am not sure how much data I have left. Waiting till 24:00 so I can use my midnight surfer data. Damn the wait is killing me!!!!!

She has not used it yet, I'm trying my level best to get it as close to Gnome 2 as I can, but I know, the first time she needs to search through the horrible menu structure for her applications it is going to be a headache for me.

EDIT:
She just informed me that it is "terug op die brug".
LOL

Loaded Mint 12 into a VBox, and it looks ok, even with Gnome 3. Only thing is, there's no games in the default installation
