I don't know if this may interest someone, but... Here it goes:
The last week, I've tried out different distributions and different desktop environments for a Thinkpad T60 (2 GB RAM) that I will run a certain server on.
For that reason, I felt I had to test with real installations, including the server software and its database, of course. No RAM-disk tests.
(If it ONLY was for the sake of the server, Mint maybe is overkill. But it has a great value to use the same distribution on that mashine as on my own (personal) computer. It's irritating when one is used to ONE set of programs, and then can't find them on certain mashines.)
By now, I've done this procedure a couple of times, and a certain rutine became established. The following steps has turned out to be what I "need" to do after logging in the first time.
What do I know? Maybe this even can be to some help for someone else?
(A remark: Changing fstab is maybe too much to expect from the installation. I don't know. But seen from my perspective, it might have been a good idea.)
