Hi & thanks...

Hi friends, I've had Mint 12 running for a few weeks now and I'm pretty smitten. This forum has been pretty helpful - so I finally decided to join the party and register. I've got a dual boot machine, as I've still got some windows-only software I want to hang on to for now, but I'm more or less a full time Linux user (at home at least). I have to say, Mint is super user friendly! I wish I'd installed it earlier. Thanks to all for the tips, and your patience with newbies.

Hi vanilla, welcome to the Linux Mint forums Thanks for giving Linux Mint a try and I hope you continue to enjoy using it! You can search for Linux native alternatives to Windows applications with this website: http://alternativeto.net/software/?profile=linux

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 a 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
