Linux Mint 8 (Helena)

Packages for the workplace:

1. Google Chrome - downloaded .deb package from Google website, with update to etc-sources list

2. Thunderbird 3 - tar.gz download; uninstall the Thunderbird 2 first, then run the thunderbird file. Not as painless an installation as Chrome was.

3. 7z - p7Zip-full package in Mint's Synaptic is more than enough. Installing this automatically makes 7z available as a format to extract or add archives to with the built-in right-click Compress option of Linux Mint.

4. VLC - again... already in Synaptic.

5. IPMsg - using instructions and dependencies from my earlier posts.
