Forbidden fruit taste like mint

Sigh. I finally found the perfect desktop Linux for me. It's called Linux Mint. It's shiny, it's smooth, and I loved it on first sight. Too bad, because my computer refuses to install it.

All my attempts to install it on my main computer (about 6 this far, I think) has failed leaving me with a completely frozen desktop where the reset button was the only working input. Every time the installer borked at between 70 and 100 percent complete. You gotta love the timing on that thing. Once it froze at "99% complete", and once at "78%" with a message saying "Less than a minute remaining".

If you have any suggestions you could post them here (Add comment), or at the thread regarding this on the LinuxQuestions forum.

Worked right out of the box. Flash, video, sound, everything. Not a hitch. Took twenty minutes.
