[Lincs] New member introduction

[Mick Sulley]

Hi Guys,

Re your comments on Ubuntu 14.04, I moved to Linux with Ubuntu 8.10 I 
think it was, upgraded at each release until they created the Unity 
desktop, which I hated.  I then moved over to Debian, which is good and 
stable but unfortunately is slow to move to new package releases, so a 
couple of years back I moved to Linux Mint, which is based upon Ubuntu 
and follows their release schedule but, in my view, has a much better 
desktop.

I definitely recommend that you have a look at it, certainly the best 
distro I have used.

Cheers
Mick
