[HLUG] Mint

[Ann Tether]

I would try it first as a live session, see if everything works, then if 
you like it install but partition hard drive, the installation will take 
you through the process - very easy, then you can dual boot for as long 
as you want, then if you want to remove windows do it through gparted... 
just do not format that part of the hard drive. But I would think about 
waiting until the end of the month when the latest lts Mint 17 should be 
out...and just try and use live sessions until then. Look for the Linux 
Mint facebook group - I am one of the admins there, great advice can be 
found on the group on everything you may need to know.
