The Forums
The Linux Mint forums [2] will help you get support and help from other users. Important news announcements are also posted over there and this is where the community gathers most of the time, not only for support but to talk about development, ideas, artwork and anything related to Linux Mint.
The Blog & the Planet
The Development team regularly publishes news updates on the Linux Mint Blog [3]
The Linux Mint Planet [4] gathers news from different blogs around the Web which are related to Linux Mint.
IRC
Within Linux Mint you can launch XChat-Gnome from the "Internet" section of your menu and it will automatically connect to the Linux Mint chat room. This chat room is not always active and bear in mind that people who are connected don't always look at the screen. Ask a question and see if you get an answer, be patient and eventually let Xchat open in the background until you get one. Most IRC users launch Xchat-Gnome when they log in, they let it run in the background and eventually give it a look now and then to see who's there and what's going on. If somebody answers you he/she will probably write your name in the answer and this will make your xchat window blink within your system tray.
