a year or more old... 18.3. Wanted to check it running and run "uname", can't yet... But I have 3 machines bootable to mint 18.3. Seems like a keeper. ......a long term support release which will be supported until 2021 (they say.) Linux Mint 18.3 features Cinnamon 3.6, a Linux kernel 4.10 and an Ubuntu 16.04 package base. doug> thanks for asking! this pc has hardware problems, which arose just sitting in the living room.

JUST FOR FUN, /var/log/syslog ( catch-all ) logfile below, while dying on the 2nd sata port I am trying ( may as well try all four.....)
