Linux Mint 12 Review: The Best Gnome 3 Shell Implementation

  • Muktware; By Swapnil Bhartiya (Posted by muktware on Nov 28, 2011 9:01 PM EDT)
  • Story Type: Reviews; Groups: Linux
LinuxMint, being a true consumer OS just like Ubuntu, took Gnome 3 Shell experience to a newer and better level. I think the best Gnome 3 Shell experience is the one provided by LinuxMint 12. I think the biggest USP of LinuxMint 12 should be the awesome Gnome 3 Shell experience.

I heavily recommend LinuxMint to all those users who want to try Gnome 3 Shell with all the available extensions working out of the box. I heavily recommend all current LinuxMint users to upgrade to the latest version. Just clear all the doubts you have about Gnome 3 Shell. Accept the fact that we have to move forward, make way for newer and better technologies. Accept that it is no more Model T, its Ferrari and you will enjoy the LinuxMint drive.

My verdict: LinuxMint is the best Gnome 3 Shell implementation.

Linux has a peculiar but systematic directory structure that effectively defines the roles of each system directory. The most common directories included in Linux are Bin, Boot, Dev, Etc, Home, Lib, Media, Mnt, Opt, Proc, Sbin, Sys, Tmp, Usr, and Var. These Linux directories form the core structure, sheltering almost all necessary Linux operations.

Password cracking with John the Ripper on Linux

For those of you who haven't yet heard about John the Ripper (hereby called John for brevity), it is a free password cracking tool written mostly in C. Before going any further, we must tell you that although we trust our readers, we do not encourage or condone any malicious activities that may be performed using this tool or any other tools we talked about in the past.

So although it might sound tempting, we recommend you to refrain from any damaging activities, if for nothing else, just because you have great chances to land in a jail cell.
