    I hope everyone had a great holiday season. Two days ago I loaded Linux Mint 17.1 Mate Edition onto my CF-18 and have been impressed. First there were no problems booting Mint after it was installed on the hard drive. It boots faster than Win XP and Win 7 and is very responsive. Out of the box the function keys all work the way they are supposed to with the exception of the Suspend to Ram and the suspend to HD keys. Digitizer works as well as the mouse pad. I had no problem configuring my wifi card. I installed X11-touchscreen-calibrator which seems to auto calibrate the digitizer. I also installed "Onboard" which is a configurable on-screen keyboard which works very well. I then installed "FoxTrot GPS" which is a highway map that shows my location on the map. The only things not working at this point is screen rotation and the front panel buttons.
