Ah. Very good to know. I'll still look at Mint. If their GUI is dropping
AMD Radeon support, I probably won't want anything to do with them though. If it's just the older ATI cards, I may still be fine. I'll just need to verify what the laptop uses. I prefer to stick with similar OSes - I'd prefer not having different Linux distros on different computers and my desktops all have AMD Radeon graphics cards. I'm not happy with the recent direction of Ubuntu (first Unity, then 3rd party search integration enabled by default) so I'd like to take a look at an alternative.

Ahh. I kind of figured that was going to be the case. Thank you for the clarification.
