[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	Well that was fast. I knew that I and others severely disliked the Unity desktop but the backlash has been startling. Muktware posted: Yesterday we published about Linux Mint's secret project for Gnome users and Clem's claims that soon they will overtake Ubuntu. Seems like he spoke too late. Today Linux Mint has broken the 6 year old record and replaced Ubuntu as the most popular Linux-based distribution on Distro Watch. Linux Mint sits on top with 2199 and Ubuntu slides to the second spot with 2011 rating. Continued -----signature----- (none)

	Ubuntu really screwed up with that Unity interface. Hopefully Microsoft is paying attention. -----signature----- (none)

	No kidding Ravyn. I think this is a wake up call to numerous industry movers & shakers. -----signature----- (none)

	I'm really loving the linux mint UI. thanks for the post. I'd stick with ubuntu for any sort of supportable project, but mint is nice for non-mission-critical stuff. -----signature----- Wailing HoHoHoMerryXmas Hero, daoc Kay Bardog Mage, wow Thunderlord <Schizm> http://7-zip.org/ trollop hunter
