Software reviews (68)
| Software | Score |
|---|---|
| bluefish "This is a nice app, but it's no Geany" |
3 |
| mintmenu "I'm not normally a fan of these "extended" menus, but this one is slick and simple. It is definitely a selling point for Mint." |
5 |
| filezilla "Excellent FTP package. Fast and reliable" |
4 |
| gparted "This makes partitions very easy indeed. If it has one drawback it would be that it is so intuitive that it can make you think you don't need a backup before going ahead!" |
5 |
| mono-complete "There is no doubting the quality of what has been produced by the Mono project but... it's based on a Microsoft technology even if it an open standard" |
2 |
| gnote "Excellent. Like Tomby but no Mono. It's lighter and faster. This should be the default rather than Tomboy" |

| tomboy "It's actually not a bad program. If only it wasn't written using Mono" |
2 |
| f-spot "Not great. Slow and clunky. Always immediately replaced by gthumb" |
2 |
| chromium "It's a good browser but the way it allows ad blocking is clunky. Also I really dislike the fact that I can't have my menu bar at the top where it's meant to be. I know it's daft, but that's why I don't use it!" |
3 |
| openoffice.org "It's not a bad office suite, but the Libre Office fork is faster, smoother and truly free (as in speech as well as beer). I think that Libre Office is the default in Mint 11" |
2 |
| cssed "Always installed but not often used these days. A super tool when you are stuck with CSS syntax" |
4 |
| gambas2 "A nice BASIC implementation; can achieve very professional results and also ideal for a new programmer." |
4 |
| backintime-gnome "This is so easy to use that there is no excuse for not taking backups. It doesn't compress the backups but I like that as I can navigate the directory structure if I wish. It uses hard links to present a full directory structure in every backup while only actually copying any changed files. Take a backup every hour. You're worth it!" |
5 |
| brutalchess "It's not as strong as many other chess games which is ideal for me. It also looks great" |
4 |
| transmission "Very good lightweight client but is less suitable if you have many torrents" |
4 |
| oolite "If you loved Elite, this is for you. Trade, bounty hunt, salvage or pirate your way to the rank of Elite in this open ended game in which the word "Harmless" is the greatest insult! But, please devs can we have the latest version in the repositories as it has come on a long long way?" |
5 |
| virtualbox-ose "This is one package where getting the non-free version is very much worth it. Ose is fine if you are trying to run a completely free box." |

| supertuxkart "Fun multi-player game. Almost as much fun single player!" |
