Linux Mint 9 - Part 3


Over the past week (or three), I've installed the following to make my Linux Mint 9 desktop more complete:

To me thats a simple "must have" feature.  One Scanner utility looks like you're viewing the guts of C3P0 (Star Wars Episode 1) and the other one seems to be overly plain Jane.


K3B:  While Rhythmbox will rip the CD's etc, K3B seems to do it faster... ? I don't know why.
Had to make use of the NDIS wrapper that comes with Mint, as the wireless card on my laptop died on me, - But I only had an old PCIMCI card to use, and it's chip set isn't Linux friendly, so I had to use some from windows.



I can't think of much else at the moment..  
Oh and a snapshot of the Air Lines Theme..
