Libreoffice or Apache OpenOffice are the two biggies for documents. Mozilla Thunderbird to replace Outlook/Live Mail if you use a mail client,...
I approve. If Ubuntu does this, the effects on Mint will be interesting. LM would then have 2 rolling releases, one Ubuntu and one Debian...
I was running that exact setup until about a month ago, but don't remember seeing your original thread. I don't remember having any KDE stuff and...
I've played with the XPS 13 in person, but the Windows version. Beautiful laptop. Very sturdy feeling for being so small and thin. The screen I...
Great thread. @Moontan In the vid you post, guy modifies rc.local to change the IO scheduler, interesting. I've always just added it into Grub,...
Thanks for that. I've always wondered where the line is between potential overkill of hosts files and the things traditional ABP extensions let...
The shorter releases are supported for 1.5 years so no need to switch every 6 months. http://www.linuxmint.com/oldreleases.php I use both long...
Aren't the HOSTS files in ScriptSafe blocking many of the same domains of those in ABP filter lists? With 1.0.6.2 I was using the hosts file...
Are you installing Ubuntu 12.10? That installer comes with the option for full disk encryption. I think it's just general aes-256-cbc though but...
@OP Chrome would be a really good starting point. It installs its own ppa so it (and flash) are always updated. You can go a step further then and...
^This. Cinnamon's effects settings are too lazy out of the box. They can be easily changed in the Cinnamon Settings menu. I recently installed a...
I asked because I've seen you often very enthusiastically mention them and to do so in the OP's scenario strikes me as strange, IMO, so I was just...
It's really odd you'd say that, do you work for CryptoHeaven? CryptoHeaven is a great service its own right, but it's not at all what you'd want...
Might be dumb question but are you using it to block JavaScript too? Assuming you're after the user agent feature in ScriptNo, it only works for...
Cool. One day I have to try a live distro of Gnome 3 to see what all the fuss is about. Anyone using Cinnamon 1.4 which is the version packaged...
One thing I learned quickly was that just about all cloud storage providers are imperfect solutions if security requirements are high. You must...
I hate to keep plugging my own stuff but it's 1000% relevant to the post. Earlier this month I did a comparison of how 22 different cloud...
Nice comparison though it's jut a tip of the iceberg. Senditonthenet would have been a good addition. Only an 80 MB file size but it's RSA...
Exactly as mirmir said, but the more you tweak ANY browser, the more unique you look. Taking the TOR browser and trying to make it into JonDoFox...
Oh hey...there's a Maya xfce. I just noticed you're talking about that, not Mint Debian. heh.
I've pared over 20 of them down to analysis by cryptographic implementations and account authentication for both the client software and browser...
The cool thing about Mint XFCE is that it's based on Debian. One thing that's kinda weird though, they have update packs that come out every few...
Doesn't the Windows license act as merely a leasing contract between the purchaser and MS? I'm gonna give that licensing link some quality time...
