Couple of good YouTube videos on soldering (electronics in particular...) This is a skill I'm just not great at yet so this is good info.
- Interview with a solder expert
- Basic Soldering Lessons 1 - 9 (this is a playlist that's some old videos but still awesome.)

Mint Rafaela 17.2 - No ethernet with onboard Intel I217-V. I ran into this issue on a Mint 18 install that was running fine previously. Turns out it was the Intel driver update that Windows performed (I believe this bug is only triggered if you dual-boot). I went into the driver in Windows and disabled "wake on LAN", then the ethernet started working fine under Linux. Super frustrating and this was the only post I found online with the right answer. #>
