I am using it now. I was using Mint 17 64bit but I was having some performance issues. I have a Pentium Dual Core 6 gig of ram and Nvidia 9800GT Dual head graphics. When watching a video on Youtube everything will got really slow. My Cpu would run 80 to 95 percent when on youtube. I know thats because of flash. When I built this system I had ubuntu 10.04 with classic gnome it ran great with that. Well on New Years I took off Mint 17 and put ubuntu 14.04 mate. Its like I have ubuntu 10.04.... So Marc your right its a rock solid system..
