[Colchester] List Ping (is there anybody out there)

[Martyn]

I was a long time fan of Mint but have switched to Manjaro since they 
dropped KDE support. I know I could install it myself but every time I 
try something breaks or doesn't work properly. Last time there were no 
window controls or menus.
