<br>
I just discovered ALE, so am stoked about meeting fellow
tux-heads in person rather than just on forums -- and learning
about Duplicity to boot! <br>
<br>
I've been Ubuntu, then Mint since Vista ticked me off, &
never went back. Now I'm up against a new nemesis on a new
laptop - EFI. I'm struggling with my Mint16 install, now a
week without a running installation (just live USB booting)
despite extensive forums searches on my problems. <br>
<br>
I've disabled fast boot & secure boot, installation goes
without a hitch, but I get nothing but error messages when I
pull the USB and try to boot from disk. Tried fstab changes
with no joy. Tried boot-repair, too.<br>

<br>
I cringe at being that guy that shows up for the first time and
asks for help, but that's the timing that a motherboard death
has forced on me.<br>
<br>
Thanks so much,<br>

I actually just installed my new work laptop (Dell Latitude
E7240) with Debian using EFI. This was actually my first
installation with grub-efi and it worked rather smoothly for me. I
actually had more problems from the NIC driver and X11 setup than I
did EFI.<br>
