Re:Ask HN: LXDE (Mint) or Xfce (XUbuntu) on Tuesday October 09, 2012 @03:04PM (#4633401)

I've tried both and have settled on Xubuntu because it runs faster (particularly on my Netbook) and provides a solid non-Unity experience.

Mint is pretty nice too, but I generally recommend it to people who are new to Linux because it comes with more software out-the-box, looks a bit flashier, and seems to be a bit more familiar to people coming from Windows.

Ask HN: Good resources for learning TDD?

from the ask-hn dept.

I'm interested in learning test driven development (TDD) from both a theoretical and practical perspective. I work primarily with Ruby (using Sinatra for web projects) and Javascript. I'd be grateful for any learning resource recommendations, whether online or in book form. General tips also welcome!

I don't mind this now that the README is displayed above the fold, a big improvement IMO.
