Anyway, I tried installing PDFMasher on the newest Linux Mint (Xfce) and the debian package manager said all dependencies were resolved (Python 3 requirements), but alas, no love. It won't run. I'll have to look into building from source. But, I love an adventure.  |
I'm not a huge ubuntu fan to begin with. I run Kubuntu on my netbook, simply for ease of install (Normally I use Aptosid to get a Debian Sid install in a hurry, but not everything wanted to work out of the box when I got my netbook, and I just didn't feel like working with it. I prefer getting stuff installed and working quickly, then tweak to my preferences as I get time.), and it isn't quite as bad as normal ubuntu about speed. I think most of it is the crud they toss into gnome and the default apps they have on it.
