Obviously you do not care much about what your readers ask (yes, I’m talking about full RSS feeds), so unfortunately I have to unsubscribe.
Hopefully one day you will come to senses and start publishing full feeds.

I am using Linux Mint Felicia on my Notebook Dell Inspiron 1420. All works fine (except mic for Skype). I am so happy with Linux Mint
Good Job guys,

I wasn’t aware our RSS feed only showed summaries. This is now changed. Thanks for the feedback.
@Daniel Mery
Had the same problem with skype.
Solution, go in synaptic and install >>>skype static OSS<<<.
That will do it, and you can use skype.
Mint 6 was reviewed at Laptop magazine and got 4 stars 🙂 (My friend wrote it and I’m happy to say I suggested Mint to her.)
I installed Linux mint about 5 months ago and this is all I use now and all that I install when people want Linux
keep up the amazing work and I hope to help contribute here soon.
Re: Linux replaces mascot? Remember that April 1st is just around the corner. Last year many websites posted a similar article.
I have just install Linux Mint 6, but it did not detect my microphone. I need to talk in Skype and please help me. I really want to use it.
THANKS!! for the FULL FEED!!

Does anyone know how to solve the microphone problems with Mint Gloria on my Dell Mini. I hear static from my microphone on playback from the test call.
