Summary


In this chapter, we went through the basics of what partitioning is and why you should consider setting up a separate /home partition. Bootable Linux Mint media was created on either a recordable DVD or flash drive. The installation process was also explained, and now you should have a fully operational Linux Mint system that we will use for the remainder of the book.

In the following chapter, we'll go through the Cinnamon user interface so you will know how to navigate your freshly installed Mint system. We'll cover aspects such as logging in, launching programs, creating launchers, and we'll also explore applications bundled with Linux Mint.
