Hey greywizard,

Since mint is based on ubuntu, it also has it roost firmly in debian, and therefore, apt! If you want to uninstall an application, you should run

Code: Select all

apt-get remove *name of application*
or you could run

Code: Select all

aptitude remove *name of app*
both should work, as far as I know.. but I could be wrong, of course.

:D
