1. No need to add Mediubuntu repository

# Mint developers made Mint so its license can be compatible with Mediubuntu packages

2. No need to remove Evolution

# Mint developers already know that Gmail is all what I need

3. Install extra packages I can’t live without

sudo apt-get install skype
 gnome-bluetooth
 gnochm
 zekr
 picasa
 amule
 filezilla
 deluge
 googleearth
 opera
 sun-java6-jre
 avidemux

4. Install Tao Vinci extra package so I will look like a real geek

sudo apt-get install
 nautilus-open-terminal
 terminator
 tilda
 htop
 powertop
 workrave

5. Disable visual effect

# Mint developers don't know that a simple desktop environment without any effects is all what I need

6. Configure GNOME Do

# Enable plugins: Disk mounter, Indexe File & Folder, Indexe FireFox Bookmarks, GNOME Session Management, GNOME Terminal
