I see Linux Mint 15 is out. If this has been posted already mods remove it.

Stuck it on the wife's netbook last week, she seems to like it.

I use 14 myself, so see no need to move to 15 at this stage.

I must get it too, to see what's new, but I am really waiting for 17 next year, the next 5 year LTS.
I also use LMDE which never needs a re-install, excellent alternative to constant new releases.
Edit: Tried Mint 15 Cinnamon, very nice, if 17 is going to be at least this good, then it will be a keeper - well for five years anyway!

How do you get the wifi working on 15

No idea, I can't get 15 working on my hardware at all, but join the Linux Mint forums for specialised help:

if you have a proprietary wifi card, you need to menu/sources/additional drivers while plugged into internet via ethernet, it'll download and install the appropriate driver same for video card if needed/

I got it installed and working now. I made a bootable usb with linux usb image writer instead of Unetbootin, worked like a charm.

Using LDME as well ,best battery life of any distri I have ever used .

Do you like LMDE? I find it ok, I use Cinnamon.
Not sure about battery life, I use a laptop minus it's screen and connected to a s/h vga monitor as a dektop ,and run it from it's charger, minus the battery.
I also have four other distros on it, can't decide which to use permanently and give the whole disk to use. It's a typical linux affliction I think.

Ya , I find it ok too .I use Cinnamon and the battery life is over 4 hours ,most other distros are

2.5 hrs .I dual boot with win 7 which I never use .I also have the problem of switching to other

distros, but the battery life on LMDE has me sorted as of now . .

installed mint fifteen sixty four bit with cinnamon last week,a full HD install,prefer it to ubuntu to be honest,the LMDE iso woudnt show up on the syslinux boot screen for some reason and it does the same with all debian based OSs.
