Whats the deal with the new mint 12. I think it lacks vital features thus making it hard to use. How do i add applets to the task bar or that's a gnome feature?
Ubuntu 11.0 64bit on HP 6730s Laptop. (4GB RAM, Core2Duo)My experiences so far:1. If i need to install an app, i have to have internet, coz of dependencies.2. My graphics card (Intel-based) STILL is not recognized.3. My mount points have broken (Twice), so every time i boot, i have to skip some drives4. Because of 3. above, My VirtualBox instance has broken (Twice)5. Sometimes the display freezes on me, especially when i need to present to clients. (Probably coz of 2. above)All in all, I am a satisfied user, coz the rest just works.I chucked windows 7 coz of resource hogging and backup issues.Now i have a clean Windows 7 VDI that i copy to removable disk.My thoughts:Linux as a desktop O/S has made strides to usability../Sam

I thought MATE desktop environment was cool. Until I tried it too and discarded the cd and destroyed the iso.
