TACO'S GUIDE TO MAKE LINUX MINT NOT SUCK

==TACO'S SHORT GUIDE TO MAKE LINUX MINT NOT SUCK==

==SKYPE==
BECAUSE CHATTING WITH FRIENDS.

# 1. If you're on a 32-bit system, then you won't
#    have to worry about most dependencies, so
#    you should install the only remaining dependency
#    for Skype, which is the following:
sudo apt-get install libqt4-webkit

# 1a.(If you're on a 64-bit system, there's a LOT of
#    dependencies needed for it. You're better off
#    using something like
http://plus.im
#    for your Skype needs.)

# 2. Goto your media, or just copy the .deb to your
#    local folder, and install using
dpkg -i [name of deb].deb
#    or just double click and use the graphic installer.

# 3. Place the "dotSkype" folder inside of your "home"
#    folder, and rename it to ".Skype". This contains
#    all of the previous logs and login information of
#    the user.

==FIREFOX==
BECAUSE DUCK DUCK GO IS HORRENDOUS.

# 1. Type this into the address bar, ignore the
#    voided warranty statement:
about:config

# 2. Then, search for this in the search bar:
keyword.URL

# 3. Replace the existing value with this:
http://www.google.com.ec/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

# 3b.This makes it so that when you type something into
#    the search bar, it will search with Google and not
#    the horrendous Duck Duck Go. **shudders**

==SPOTIFY==
BECAUSE MUSIC IS AWESOME.

# 1. Add this line to your list of repositories by
#    editing your /etc/apt/sources.list, or just
#    add it in "Synaptic Package Manager" under
#    >Settings >Repositories >Other Software >Add.
deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

# 2. If you want to verify the downloaded packages,
#    you will need to add the public key.
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59

# 3. Run apt-get update to reload the files from
#    the 'net. If you don't, apt won't recognize
#    that you threw in a new repository or a new
#    public key.
sudo apt-get update

# 4. Install Spotify! Woo!
sudo apt-get install spotify-client
