Install Mint Menu in Ubuntu

For all MINT lovers.

Alternatively: sudo apt-get install gnome-main-menu

 

Mint Menu is, IMO, a direct steal from Ubuntu System Panel (which is what I use). I will admit that Mint Menu has more functionality than USP, though. I learned this when I recently tried Mint 9 (32 bit). Very nice. I wonder, though, why they have both Totem and VLC installed. Redundant. I did like that they included AptOnCD (I use it all the time in Ubuntu).

Later...

Linuxforall...I have webupd8 in my repos list, too. . Saw the Mint Menu offering in synaptic just a few minutes ago.

 

webupd8 andrew has lots of other stuff too so do watch what you install or update.

 

isnt the menu in mint very similar to the slab menu in suse?
Mint

 

Yep, it is. SuSE was the first to use it way back. I think Mint and others copied it later.
