Yes Mint really is a nice distro.  I used to run Ubuntu but found it to be a
bit heavy on the GUI side; Mint is super nice and easy to customize and use.
It's a great daily driver and for those newer to Linux.  Those
more familiar with CLI seem to really like Mint also.

The one really "Nice to have" features I see wishing for WWIV in the future are
all on github.  Cough:  Maybe someone could steer me toward how to remove
asking for a file description for every file during a //upload, and also how to
get text/ansi to upload into posts again (which seems to not be working ..)
Otherwise only two issues specifically relating to Mint and WWIV so far, you've
fixed both so big thanks, again.
