Linux Mint 17, dubbed “Qiana,” is one of the best releases from this community since Linux Mint 13 arrived in 2012 with the Cinnamon desktop. Qiana is filled with extensive improvements and embellishments to all five desktop editions. It is available in Cinnamon, Xfce, KDE, Mate and LMDE. Regardless of which desktop you favor, the core improvements are well worth the upgrade. They include improvements to the Update and Drivers managers, retooled Login and Welcome screens, and improvements to system, artwork and main components.
You are one of the very few technical writers about whom readers can feel confident of your information, because your hands-on involvement with the subject matter is so obvious--simply because it is so thorough. Your explanatory style is superb.
Keep up the outstanding work.

By the way, did you get a chance to check if the KDE version still includes the--heretofore--very good netbook option? Perhaps you can use this--coverage of Mint's KDE version--as the basis of another article.
Thank you for your kind comment on my tech reviews. I am glad that my work hits that mark. I have not seen anything about a netbook version in the latest Linux Mint KDE release notes or on the discussion forums. I will double check. My guess is that a netbook-specific ISO is not in the picture for Linux Mint 17 KDE. Clem made a comment in one of his responses on the forum that the development team was scaling back on some of the variety options.
