If you’re a fan of Linux Mint and KDE, then it’s time to celebrate because the KDE Community Edition for Linux Mint 8 (Helena) has just been released.
Any Linux distribution that doesn’t support KDE is bound to lose some fans. Some studies put it that KDE enjoys more followers then GNOME, the main challenger to KDE on Linux Desktop. I personally don’t think the team Mint wanted to loose those fans, that’s why they released the KDE Community Edition for Mint 8.

There are so many good Linux distributions out there, it will take a single person a year or more to test and explore every single distribution. That’s why we’re doing the testing so you don’t have to.
Over the coming months, we will be looking at some of the best Linux distributions for those of us that are new to the Linux concepts – that the operating system that runs the personal computer be free.
This brief tutorial shows you how to download and install Linux Mint 8 – Main Edition (Helena), a free Ubuntu-based, Linux operating system whose primary objective is to make its version of the Linux Operating system the most complete out-of-the-box system for the average Linux users.
Linux is a fine and very stable operation system compare to Windows. However, the people responsible for developing and marketing the Linux Operating System over the years didn’t do a great job working with average PC users to make the system as user-friendly as possible. I can remember back in the early Linux days, (might not be too early for some, but for me 1999 was early days) it took me half an hour if not more to get a single application installed on a Linux box because of improper package management.
