Wow ... this thread is still going
I installed Mint 17.3 Mate today and was looking for applications and remembered this thread.
I noticed the original link was updated in 2013 from 2008.
Also, great to see the others have added more links.

Re: Linux Mint 5 Elyssa XFCE Community Edition
The enhancements found in this distro are amazing. The ability to open the terminal wherever you want, to mount and unmount an iso, to check the md5sum, run as root just by right clicking is very useful. Other winners for me include a working version of Brasero. This app is broken in ubuntu for me o...

Re: Network issue with Intel D945GCLF mobo
That app is really cool Husse but I can't make it work.
It freezes while it's rebuilding the kernel ...
I also tried reinstalling XFCE and attempted from a fresh install.
I tried 3 different times and it froze at different places .. oh well.

Re: Network issue with Intel D945GCLF mobo
It looks like the kernel 2.6.24 does not support this Ethernet chip.
How can one update the kernel to 2.6.25 ?

Have you looked at the power manager? Make sure that it doesn't turn off the screen. Can you provide more info on this please ? Does this advise go for Emerald, XFCE or both ?

Walked away from the system for a while and it was frozen when I returned ...
Hmm maybe I should have restarted x when I made the change.
Took a few tries before I was able to boot back to the desktop.
I'll give it another go.
