Desktop improvements
Pressing the Print button now will take a screenshot of the desktop.
You can now check the MD5 signature of an ISO file by right-clicking on the file and by selecting "MD5 Checksum".
You can now open a folder as root by right-clicking on that folder and by selecting "Open Folder as root". This is a powerful but also a dangerous feature. A warning is displayed while using this feature.
You can now install any True Type font by right clicking the .ttf file and selecting ?Install .ttf Font?. It will check to see if the font is already installed and display a message if it is. It can install to the current user(User option) or to all users on the current install(System). After the font is installed just restart any application you want to use the new font in.
Terminal now has colors and fortunes said by a koala, a moose, or even Tux himself! (Don't worry, if you don't like this you can turn it off in mintAssistant, in fact it's one of the first thing you'll be asked by Linux Mint once it's on your hard drive.).
