I am pleased that you have had such a good experience of Maya. I could see that it had the makings of a very good distro. But for me it did not work. Whether there was something wrong with the installation is quite possible. Please note that when I download an iso file I always check the md5sum to make sure that the download did work.On 21 Nov, 2012, at 9:05 am, Neil Winchurst wrote:Recently I installed Mint Maya Xfce as many of you know.

My wife and kids are the main users and they seem very happy with it so far. I was impressed that all devices including a USB webcam and USB Bluetooth dongle JFW.

Please note that I am not knocking Maya at all. It was a shame that is did not work for me. Perhaps I should have tried a re-install, And the clue that there was a problem came right from the start with the logging out problem.
Anyway I am pleased so far with Xubuntu, as you are pleased with Maya. What more could we ask?
