+
* The integrated interactive information monitor (I3M) is a GUI system integrated in the front panel of Airtop
+
* You need to install the [http://www.fit-pc2.com/download/airtop/Linux/mint/17/airtop-fpsvc_1.0-1_upstart.deb airtop-fpsvc] service that provides system information to the front panel
+
* Please note, the package adds "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" string to the kernel boot line, and the Airtop must be rebooted after installation
+
* Now you can navigate through menus between multiple screens of the I3M that display system information, temperatures, power consumption and notifications
