Contributions are welcome!\n\nIf you would like to help me improve my scripts. Feel free to contact me\nzr6lsd@gmail.com \n\n\n## Conclusion\n\nHave fun with it! But keep in mind that I have not tested my scrips on every other Linux distribution available and I cannot offer support to you if they don't work on yours. I would love to hear your comments and I will happily look at any suggestions for new features or code fixes but I do not have the time or inclination to run and test your modified versions, act as a beta tester or even offer useful advice if your changes are not working. I am NOT an expert; I am simply sharing tools that I use everyday.\n\n## Donations\nIf you find this script helpful, then any small donations would be greatly appreciated, and would help towards me creating more content. \nIf you would like to help with a donation, you can do so via.\n\nLitecoin LTC: LMGEaMySbztMVftx6WJextU1WEQAEEnrR9\n  \n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzr6lsd%2Flinux-mint-server","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fzr6lsd%2Flinux-mint-server","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzr6lsd%2Flinux-mint-server/lists"}
