xfce4-mailwatch-plugin "mint 17 x64 - superb! I use it to check 7 inboxes from 5 different providers. works perfectly every time. Highly configurable. Icon changes on mail receipt. Does everything I want it to do. Perfect."	5
exfat-fuse "mint 17 x64 xfce - works perfectly! couldn't read exfat - installed this - no restart - works immediately! both reads and writes perfectly"	5
exaile "Mint 17 x64 xfce - GUI is average, as cannot show lyrics/wiki/cover etc all at the same time. it's all on tabs on a sidebar, and cannot be customised as far as I can tell"	3
rhythmbox "Mint 17 x64 xfce - too slow on large (7000 albums) collections"	3
evince-hwp "Works perfectly on the one Korean file I tried. Mint 17 x64 xfce."	5
ibus-hangul "mint 17 x64 XFCE: works great typing in hangul on eng language mint install. even uses hangul switching key well. chromium bug - so use beta ppa)"	5

linphone "mint x64 mate: easy to setup, great sound quality, nice interface. Recommended!"	5
tuxfootball "not so good. controllers don't work, view is way too zoomed in, physics are average."	2
etw "unfortunately this has terrible movement and physics. it's nothing like sensible soccer in that regard. shame as I had high hopes."	2
pinta "mint 16 x64 mate: brilliant! very similar to paint.net. I love it!"	5
font-manager "mint 16 x64 mate: works as advertised. good font viewer"	5
caja "mint 16 x64 mate: works very well, no bugs, no crashes, but could do with more feautures"	4
mate-panel "mint 16 x64 mate: love it! simple and brilliant"	5
network-manager-gnome "mint 16 x64 mate: poor with custom dns settings. wicd is much better for me."	2
mplayer2 "mint 16 x64 mate: great with smplayer front end. disappointed it can't draw subs to overlay using a gui renderer. still best video player for linux"	4
wicd-gtk "mint 16 x64 mate: mints built in network manager is poor with custom dns. this one is better. recommended!"	5
ibus "mint 16 x64 mate: slightly tricky to set up, but now works perfectly, and uses hangul key. using it to type hangul on eng language mint."	5
wget "mint 16 x64 mate: good, but doesn't open multiple connections. use axel instead for multiple connections."	4
axel "mint 16 x64 mate: better than wget as it opens multiple connections to the one server for a faster download."	5
transgui "mint 16 x64 mate: brilliant! i use it as a front end for transmission running on the SAME pc, as it's a great gui, similar layout to the old utorrent."	5
rsync "mint 16 x64 mate: superb! beginners can use this with lucky backup for a great simple reliable sync and backup solution."	5
arista "mint 16 x64 mate: a perfect simple fast transcoder. uses all cpu cores fully. so easy to use. love it."	5
gmusicbrowser "mint 16 x64 mate: works great. completely customisable, but can be tough to set up correctly. linux equivalent of foobar2000. fantastic with large collections (100,000 tracks)"	5
luckybackup "mint 16 x64 mate: brilliant gui for rsync. very simple and reliable. perfect! better than grsync frontend."	5
chromium "mint 16 x64 mate: works great. quick and simple to use. less customisable than firefox, but snappier."	4
transmission-gtk "mint 16 x64 mate: works great! better than deluge with 1000 torrents seeding. only let down is no labels functionality. get the trans-gui frontend for a MUCH better interface"	5
clementine "mint 16 x64 mate: works well, can be buggy with large collections when changing view modes, not as customisable as gmusicbrowser. for those looking for linux foobar2k alternative, gmusicbrowser is the program to go for. clementine is the 2nd best linux music player"	4
smplayer "mint 16 x64 mate: works perfectly, best front-end for mplayer, love the options, shame mplayer can't draw subs on overlay with gui interface"	5
