The microphone (mic) was not capturing the sound (absolutely no sound) so that meant that I had to keep my old installation of Mint 10 intact so that when required I could switch over to it and use Skype.

Though my initial intention was to move on to a rolling release distribution to avoid having to reinstall the OS every now and then for a new release. But I decided against it and stuck with Mint which has been my favorite for the past few years. As one would expect with Mint, the installation was smooth and fast....
