Linux Mint 17 Qiana Released

The newest version of Linux Mint-an open source operating system fairly easy to install that may be dual booted with Windows was published. It is named Qiana.  Mint version 17 will be maintained two or three years evidently. One can install it from a thumb drive. Learning how to make a bootable thumb drive can take a little time-Ubuntu has a hyperlink for making a bootable thumb drive.

If one has a bootable thumb drive and installed uneboot or easybcd its necessary to shrink the volume of drive c where windows is kept maybe 30 or 40% in order to free up room for Mint to install itself.When Mint is booted up from the thumb drive or cd it will offer the option to dual boot with windows and save the existing files in windows-that's a good choice. You can access those files from within Mint.
