Mint 17 Qiana on my Thinkpad T43

Installed Thursday night.
On top of what was my Lubuntu 14.04 installation, Linux Mint looks, at least IMHO, soo much nicer, Lubuntu looks nice, but there is not a homogeneous feeling accross apss, at all.
Everything seems to be working just fine, although the old, noisy, hot and lovely laptop it is really, really starting to show its age.
