====== Base Additions ====== Even if LMDE is an incredibly well thought distribution, offering an easy to understand environment and most any packages you'll need for a regular office job or home usage, the fact that you chose to go for Linux Mint **Debian Edition** probably means you are looking for something more specific, am I wrong? Well that's my case anyway, and, shortly after the base system install, I completed it with a few additions that are required by my "use case". Hereunder is a list of a few ones I started with. ===== NFS Connectivity ===== As I have a NAS that I primarily use as a backup and high volume storage system, I quickly (immediately) felt the need for nfs connectivity. Don't worry, activating nfs compatibility is a breeze as you can learn from the [[packages:nfs-common|nfs-common package installation]] section.
