Randy, Your best bet for help with linux Mint is irc. #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org. I use the KDE version of Linux Mint, so the key commands are different than Gnome. Mint 7 is no longer supported, so people will probably nag you to use a supported version, but if you keep asking, they'll help.
