That the linux community doesn't talk about? None... The community talks about everything... From third party software to the kernel.. ;)

IF you have any doubt, a quick google search will lead you to the solution.


For docks and info on the side:

1 - Dock: Avant Window Navigator (if you're on mint, you can download it from the Software Center)

2 - For the Clock, CPU, RAM and other info you can use Conky. Just download the conky-all package from the Software Center in Linux Mint then follow a how to such as: http://www.online-blogger.net/2009/1...conky-designs/

Also this sweet girl (NixiePixel) can teach you cool stuff:

ok thanks.
also, how do i un-install programs?
like a control panel in windows.

Couldn't be easier. Its the same way you use to install. Just go to the software center. When its installed, instead of a "Install" button, you'll get a "Remove" button. ;)

Ok, what does it mean when it is "whaiting for lock"?

Where is it being shown?

it is whaiting for the lock in the software manager, i was trying to download conky.

have you inserted the right password? or are the updates running?
You can't use 2 softwares that deal with the APT at the same time.

yeah updates were running at the time. fixed that.
Now i have to learn how to run some programs with wine.

Get gimp.-All around art program.
Get Wine.-Windows application player.(Windows programs on Linux)
Get Virtual Box.-Play a windows emulator on Linux as a window. (complete with internet etc.)
I'll edit if I think of more.
