Today Wayne asks:

I have been using mint 5 and really impressed with it. there is one drawback to it some sites require Adobe Flash Player and there is none available for mint 5. The KDE version works fine but i would like to stick with gnome any work around?

Well there are a number of things that come to mind. First, there is no KDE version of Linux Mint 5…yet. Mint 4, sure, but not 5 as of this writing. So what should you do? Make sure you are using the main edition - I suspect you are running with the “lite” edition instead, which is easy to do when downloading off of some random FTP server - it happens to the best of us.

Do you have an IT-related question? Perhaps you are just burnt out on writing on the walls with crayons? Whatever the comments may be, drop me a line, and you too can “Just Ask Matt!” Please address comments to the comments section above, my email address is for column questions only - thanks!
