Good product delivered on time with good support
As a complete Linux greenhorn, I was baffled by the complex-sounding loading and installation processes outlined in the documentation. So I was pleased to find a product that simplified things. This combination of a pre-installed USB drive and disk does just that. But it remains more complicated than Windows' insert-disk-click-'Run' simplicity. There's no ''Run' program to click on, and I wondered if it was accidentally omitted. I emailed the seller, who goes by 'Sir Tanon,'and received a prompt, friendy response explaining Linux' different approach. With that email in hand, the installation went just fine. Still, I would urge anyone contemplating a switch to Linux to do a LOT of reading on the subject. There are literally dozens of Linux variants, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, and the installation process is quite different and not idiot proof. There's one spot at which ignoring a clear on-screen warning and selecting the wrong action could wipe your hard drive clean! In compensation, Linux folks are an enthusiastic and helpful lot, so on-line answers to your rookie questions and concerns are readily available.

Great buy for me.
Easy and quick to install. This was a good buy for me it was what I expected. Now I have to see what drivers, if any I need.

Don't buy this, it's OLD and no longer unsupported
Linux Mint is a great, but this version being sold here is now 5+ years old and no longer supported. Don't buy this. Besides, you don't need to buy Linux. Just get it from the Linux Mint Website and use your own flash drive. The instructions make it easy to make your own. Just search the web for Linux Mint.
