I need to brush up on pros and cons having one, the other, or both. On a lighter note, just ordered some 3.0 usb drives:

Re: AUTOMOUNT BUILT-IN DVD DEVICES (MY CF-53JULA21M)
Interesting article you linked. The kernel of knowledge I gleaned was: "Failure to unmount before disconnecting the device can result in loss of data and/or a corrupted file system. There are no exceptions to this rule. Be safe - unmount your drives before disconnecting them! ". Can you gi...

Re: Creating a Live DVD, CD, or USB with Linux of your choice that ncludes Persistence
What I've found (and really like) about MX-Linux (and antiX Linux) is their feature allowing to make a bootable usb drive with your flavour of linux onto it, with persistence. I tested it out last night using their download link: http://mxrepo.com/snapshots/?C=M;O=D And if you read at the top, "...

Re: CF-53JJCZF1M & Mint 18.1
I've been using Mint on the 30 & 52 for several years, first using LMDE1 and then LMDE2. That did not play well with this newer 53. Now the 18.1 does not play well, it freezes up while shutting down, etc. I don't have the time to play with it so loaded MX-16 and away we go. This does everything ...

Re: 32 and 64 Bit Mint 18 on 32 GB LiveUSB
I created you a copy Feb 2017 iso of MX-16 for you on the trusty 29 and made you a live usb with mx-linux tools. First I used "snapshot" and copied the working system of the 29. Then I used Live usb maker (mx tools) and created a bootable live usb image. Rebooted, and chose f-5 "persi...

Creating a Live DVD, CD, or USB with Linux of your choice that ncludes Persistence
I'm on the 53 reading with a slow internet connection so I can't download any iso's right now. Interesting that there are 3 media to install a live distribution for your pleasure, weather trying to save data from a hard drive, try out a new flavour of linux, etc. DVD, CD, or USB...Here's where I sta...

Re: CF-53JJCZF1M & Mint 18.1
Jeff, What I've found that tweaks for one desktop might not work for another. The above link was for the xfce desktop using Mint 18.1 Linkage for Cinnamon is found here: https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/mint-cinnamon-first I'm up and running with a new SSD, and waiting for replacem...

CF-53JJCZF1M & Mint 18.1
It's my first 53 and very pleased. Can't wait for the SSD and 16 GB RAM to come to the house via Amazon (tomorrow or the next). In the meantime, I downloaded and burned an ISO of LMDE2, as well as all the versions of the new 18.1 that have come out recently: XFCE, MATE, Cinnamon, KDE: https://www.li...

Re: CF-29 Mk2 distro suggestions
Pretty takes more resources. I hope you find one that works for you. There might be a way to get one up and running that is ugly, and then make it pretty... Scientific Linux works on a MK2 CF-29 as well: http://ftp1.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6x/i386/iso/ I would try the live cd first if s...
