TT is a great machine, but is not the best game machine. I would say, why Mint unless you have a specific reason to run it. I just boot into TOS. If your running applications it’s great, specifically CAD and older Desktop publishing applications. There is also a version of GAF Basic that runs on the TT. There are some nice upgrades, but I’ve always run mine with 4M of ST ram and 16M of TT ram and have never felt a need for more. I have a CaTTamaram accelerator in mine, which I love (SpeedyTT should be a better version). Unlike mikro I like the VGA output, but it works fine with my VGA monitor. If you can still get the adaptor for TT high resolution, get it. It’s awesome and I use mine 80% of the time.
