Linux Mint Forums

This is one of the best threads I've seen on linux security issues - really good links. I'm very new to mint and am loving it. The only thing I'm uneasy about is the warnings that everything I try to download via synaptic is potentially a threat. I don't know if this is the same risk as with other d...

I'm running two monitors and I haven't discovered how to make the desktop (gnome) remember which monitor to use for which app (e.g. I want firefox to always open on the right hand monitor).

I installed Mint on a separate hard drive (sdc, first partition) and put grub2 in the boot record of that partition. I then edited my grub menu for pclos (/boot/grub/menu.lst) by adding the following on...

I've downloaded Rawtherapee and can execute it from the file browser. I'd like to have an entry for it in the application launcher. Is there a way to do this?

I'm very interested in how this turns out. I really want to try Mint (esp. 64 bit). I'm currently running PCLinuxOS and actually love it, just no 64 bit version. I don't want to trash it.
