Coming back to Mint

Post by johnwillis »

Hi all,

I've been away from Mint for about 5 years - I've used it occassionly on live CD's to fix PC's etc.

I have just installed it on my newest custom built PC - i7, 32gb ram, ssd - I'm impressed how far Mint has come since I first used it back in 2007.

I will be trying to use it as my daily machine - anyone care the share the favourite apps you install after a base install?

I'll try to be a bit more regular on these forums again. :D

Hi John,

Welcome back to the fold.
Gparted is indispensable.
For me so is Xfburn, Audacious, Qasmixer
A nice tool is clonezilla
Everything in life was difficult before it became easy.
