A review of Linux Mint Celena. "I think Celena is a breath of fresh air. It is the best GNOME distribution I have ever used. The artwork is simply amazing, I think PCLinuxOS must take a hint or two from Celena. Strong emphasis is given to integrating the theme with applications. I can see the hard work Mint developers have put behind custom applications like Mint Menu, MintUpload, MintAssitant and Mint Control Center. They have done a commendable job and made our lives easy. They have not followed the trend and have included KDE applications, wherever they felt the need."

hmmm, here is a thing for you to ponder then....
Does Linux need a control panel like application ?
I ask this, because, although Windows has one, Joe User will hardly ever go in there, except if asked to by a help-desk operator, or guided by his "geek mate" over the phone.
It is the same with Linux, Joe User will only venture as far as he needs, anything else and he calls for outside help.

Maybe alot of the issues that we currently face will change their form into something that requires or demands less natural resources, or more of them less often?
Like what the Internet did to newspapers, or video-hosting and P2P is doing to movies and television.
Plus, most of the conflicts or interests which are or will be waged possess an increasingly-stronger media aspect. Maybe the loss of life will decrease?

When will we have Min*d* Control Center? No but seriously, with all this striving to make use ever easier for the so-called average user and Windows refugees, where will it end with ever improving AI, until they even do the thinking for us. Of course not immediately. People also used to ridicule the idea that one day it might be possible to clone human organs.
Ah the age old question - where will it end.
(Not knocking Mint btw, today just seems a day for cheap philosophy.)
