Downloaded and installed Linux Mint 8 RC1 on an old Sony PCG-9J4L. The install went well without any glitches. After a restart the computer booted to the login screen with no problems and then logged in without any problems. When this computer was running Mint 7 the screen would flicker a noticeable graphical glitch would take place while starting up. There does not seem to be any graphical problems with Mint 8. Tested the video on YouTube and Yahoo both videos played well with sound in sync.
Suspend does not work, seems to be a common problem with Linux and Windows. Mac has it right wonder why no one else can get even close. Other then the suspend problem the sound is muted on startup. These two problems are the only ones I have ran into. Linux Mint continues to impress me. Download link here linuxmint.com Hope to post a video of the desktop later this week.
