As I explained in another post, you can change the look and feel of the desktop on any GNU/Linux distribution to whatever you want from what is available. Since Mepis Linux comes with the KDE desktop by default and Linux Mint Linux comes with the GNOME desktop by default, all you need do is install KDE on your Linux Mint system and then set it up for the background wallpapers, colors, widget style, window decorations, window behavior that is most appropriate to your needs. If you need the "I do not know how to do this" guide for installing KDE on Linux Mint, please see the article at <http://blog.sudobits.COM/2010/05/09/how-to-install-kde-in-ubuntu-10-04-2/>

While Wine will run some Windows apps, it's often difficult to get them set up properly to do so. And many, if not most, won't work at all. From your description in another post that sort of difficulty is something you want to avoid, so you're better off stressing the Linux equivalents of those Windows apps. TJ -- Life isn't fair. It's not meant to be. Overcoming the disadvantages we face is what makes us strong.
