Oi!
I tried the latest Peppermint8 Respin2 this weekend (32bits).
It's an LXDE + XFCE hybrid, with a whisker menu
Theres a bunch of apps I have to install *but* I did a double-take when I booted this latest release, memory usage is at 121MB on live boot!!!! (and more !'s ).
Once installed on hard drive and update, the final count is 141MB ... waaaa!
The interface/icon set is meh for me and I didn't find a way to put desktop icons (yet?) since it's LXDE. It's my first VirtualBox VM too, woot!
There's a bunch of apps that are web-based, which I hate so I removed a few even if it's a "feature" of PeppermintOS.
I doubt this distro will have other uses for me than installing on ancestral PC's but still, once I put LibreOffice and al, I'll report back.
Cheers!
