Every I.T. professional should use and be aware of the strengths of Linux Mint
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Linux Mint for several special use cases. In general, it provides fast, stable, inexpensive solutions to problems that would otherwise need expensive, cumbersome software. I would rather use Linux Mint then start new relationships with vendors that I would then have to manage them and their software while paying a premium.
