I may just have to take one for the team on this, I couldnt live with myself knowing what pain and torture is involved.

So to spare you the misery I will go and endure the living hell, but just remember the beer may be but my soul is not

What is the general opinion on scripting? Do you prefer the good old school bash? Or the newer faster perl? I was having this conversation with a friend the otherday and was curious. I am a bash user normally, never bothered to learn perl as my first senior sys admin said it wasnt as useful. But I h...

Problem a - I quite happily installed Mint 14 RC Cinnamon last night, no problem installing whatsoever. My problem arose when I rebooted and needed to log in. xorg didnt seem to start automatically, this isnt a huge problem as i can log in and startx, but lets say in the future my lovely girlfriend ...

haha, im not sure if you would be so willing to endure all this torture just for me! Think of yourself and escape while you can! My girlfriend is a model, which makes the situation even worse!

I am about to embark on a fantastic holiday in the next week, I will be jumping across the pond and landing in New York ready for an adventure.

I have a nice freshly burn dvd with the new RC sitting on my desk here at work, can't wait to get home and give it a spin!

Hi Cythes, Sorry for being behind the times on this post just noticed there was a projects part to this forum, I am very interested in this idea.

I am soon to be undertaking a project at home which is going to require a touch screen compatable distro. My plan: build a wall mounted media station using a mini-ATX motherboard, an a nice sized touch screen monitor. All of this will be encased in a nice bit of arcylic and then bolted to my wall :D...

Hi kc1di I am just burning to disc now! With regards to this edition when the final is released will I be able to just keep the RC and update/upgrade? What does it mean by RC?? is this final beta testing stage? I have gone for Cinnamon, as when i was using mint 13 i enjoyed the usability of it. I am...

Java is a pretty solid language in my opinion but maybe not so much for a website, what you could use java for on the other hand is to have a linux mint forum app for android etc? I dont know about you but I would love to be able to tap into the forums whilst out and about! xda have a cool little ap...

Personally if you have such coding experience the world is youroyster (or other words to that effect) I myself am an avid prgrammer, and as much as I like MATE and cinnamon and the options you get to cusomize there desktop envirnoments they seem very old school linux still. If you are good with both...

Recently I have been drawn to the fact that facebook has an app that means you can broadcast your own radio/podcast. This intruigues me! I know the forums are a great place to get advice, and the community is fun, but have the team ever thought of a podcast? Answering questions, updating users etc? ...
