| googleearth "download latest (6.1) version from google.com if you want street view (very cool addition)" |

| camorama "Sorry, it does save pictures when I hit "take picture", it just didn't save them in the specified folder." |

| kamoso "Seems like it shouldn't have been released yet. Oversites like a "record" button but no "stop" button. Try Guvcview or Cheese instead." |

| fillets-ng "Fiendishly clever logic puzzles that the kids can't get enough of!" |

| xgnokii "Doesn't work at all. Just flashes on the screen and disappears" |

| evolution "Without this program, you "click to view appointments and tasks" on the toolbar and there are none. With this you can add them. At least the calendar part should be included in the Mint package." |

| abiword "OpenOffice does a lot of formatting stuff that I don't want, but can't figure out how to turn off. Abiword is a much better choice for me. Setting defaults is much easier as well: set up a blank document with how you want all the defaults to be, and save it in the templates folder. Nice." |

| bibletime "MUCH better than the Sword program available for Windows. The New Chinese Version bible, available here, is the most readable I've come across" |

| frostwire "Just as good as limewire but loads much faster." |

| f-spot "Either needs cropping and resizing features added, or replace it with gthumb in next mint release (in my humble opinion)" |
3 |
| gthumb "I replaced fspot in favour of this program, since it's just as simple but allows cropping and resizing." |

| tuxtype "The kids are very motivated to play it, but the letters on the fish are a bit unclear, which adds unnecessary difficulty. Otherwise fantastic." |

| tuxmath "My kids LOVE to review times tables, etc. thanks to this program. The best type of educational software, not like those 99% entertainment ones." |
5 |
| anki "Excellent software, but need to install Lame and sox (and pyaudio if that doesn't work) to add voice recording to cards (essential for language decks)" |
