Is this the same server for the software depository?  The reason I 
mention this is because I run Mint on one of my computers.  Their 
software repository seems smaller than the Ubuntu software repository. 
There are some softwares that don't seem to be in the Mint software 
depository.  Since Mint and Ubuntu are somewhat similar, probably some 
(if not most) of the software should run on both OSes?
