   Thanks for pointing this out, Alan.   
      
   I've heard of distrowatch but never visited the site. As someone who   
   intended four years ago to dual-boot Linux and Windows but hasn't   
   done squat about it yet, I value the simple and clear advice in that   
   article. Linux Mint may or may not be the best distro for me in the   
   long run, but it's a starting point -- as the author points out I can   
   always change later.
