Heh. As if three quarters of the manpages aren't missing from a Mint install. And as if the way terminal commands work in Mint weren't sometimes radically different from how the Man pages describe them. Face it, the Mint Team just doesn't want people doing anything on the command line.

Mint Cinnamon is actually an excellent distribution and desktop for a savvy Windows veteran to start with. Mint runs smoothly and automates nearly everything. The KDE desktop is the closest Linux has to Windows 7, but KDE is infrastructure-heavy and less responsive than Cinnamon, which isn't that di...

You've probably noticed that, every time the Linux community finds a fix for the latest Wow Launcher problem, the very next Launcher update breaks something else in Linux. My view is that this is deliberate because, like most large software and hardware companies, Blizzard is totally in Microsoft's ...

Does Mint work better if AMD C&Q an ACPI pointers are enabled in BIOS or disabled?

On the same system, installing Mint 15 KDE x64 takes 18 minutes to a single-partition 320-gig hard drive and 8 minutes to a 10-gig partition on an identical 320-gig hard drive.

I also want to make python scripts in /home/[username]/python/bin executable from anywhere within my filesystem ...

I need a very simple BASH script that adds my personal code snippet library to any relevant path so that, whenever I run Python either interactively...

I installed Mint 15 KDE x64 and wanted to add a directory to the $PATH variable. This is the command I tried first: $ set $PATH = %$PATH% + /home/[username]/python That did not return an error message, but my $PATH as displayed with echo $PATH didn't change. So I tried this: $ set --help That return...
