Greatings! This is my first jump to Linux. I have MintPPC 11 running on my ibook G3 600Mhz with 640MB of ram, 15GB which I got for 15 bucks. I just installed it today. The first thing I noticed was the icons (computer, and desktop) were a little big. Is there a way to adjust the size of the icons?

There will be a lot to learn since my world has only been mac and windows. At work we have redhat actually.

One question is at work I use Citrix to access my email. I see that there is a Unix version of this but has anyone tested this? Do I need to type a code in terminal to use it?

Also are there any good burners for audio out there that work with MintPPC?

The other two things I wanted to fix was the right mouse click and maybe the annoying beep sound at start up.

Thank you for your time!

@djgil:

I can't answer any of your questions, I'm just part of the "Welcome to MintPPC" contingent--a big hug to you . . . . OK, goodbye now . . . . : - ))

Actually the only question I can answer would be, the "easy way" to find applications, such as email applications, is to use "Synaptic Package Manager" and type the name of your app into the search window; if there is a port for your system it will show up there and you can click "Apply" and synaptic will install it and the most needed dependencies. If it doesn't show up in synaptic, you could do it the "hard way" and compile it, but I really don't know how to do that.

Icon buttons might be in "system settings" or try right-clicking on them and see what hapens . . . .

e.e.p.

right click desktop (F11) and set icons to 9 or so.
