Hello all
My name's Chris. I live in the UK, on a tiny, tiny boat.
I'm a long-term tinkerer, and have been messing around with Linux on and off since the late nineties; I remember downloading floppy disk images over a dialup modem. Half of them didn't work, of course, and you couldn't really get help without some inadequate screaming "RTFM!" at you on usenet. Thank god that's all over, it's a joy to see what communities have grown up and how well Linux works now.
In my spare time I play the ukulele (badly) and am studying for a degree in computing with the Open University. I'm just here to pick up some new stuff, and ask some questions.

If you are new to Mint you might be interested to know that if you get someone telling you RTFM it may not necessarily be an insult - although it still may not be very helpful. For example if you are having a problem with mounting and someone yells RTFM he might mean it literally:chris667 wrote: ...

Code: Select all
rtfm mount
Please add a [SOLVED] at the end of your original subject header if your question has been answered and solved.

Hi Chris, welcome to the Linux Mint forums
Be sure also to check out the Community website (ideas, tutorials, and hardware and software reviews), and the Cinnamon Spices website for adding themes, applets and extensions to Cinnamon (and if you haven't installed Cinnamon, see here the most recent update for a teaser).
You can also chat in real-time with other Linux Mint users. In the Mint Menu, in the Internet section, start the application XChat IRC. You will automatically get connected to #linuxmint-chat for general chat and #linuxmint-help for support with other Linux Mint users
