First look at Linux Mint Debian Edition 201009

Question of the video: Do you like the idea of Mint being a rolling release, or rolling release distros in general?

I liked LinuxMint when I was still new to Linux, and I love Debian as my current OS. Now they are together. Looks like something great to suggest to my girlfriend contemplating switching over to Linux. Thanks for the overview.

can somebody tell me where i can a bit uptodate on all the linux stuff and maybe give me advice and pros/cons concerning the different versions of Linux. i'd be soooo gratefull :D thanks in advance =)

i got a question. i'm pretty interested in installing Linux on an "older" laptop. since i heard that linux is the lightest and fastest OS. now, it seems to me that when you use linux, you have to know quite alot of pc / coding / programming languages... or is that just me. I have to admit i'm pretty noob at pc.. so what is the easiest versioin of Linux ... because there are SOOO many versions. but afaik. the most important ones or Ubuntu and Debian. (continued on next post)

@bellicjr you download at 90kb/s :o

[bellicjr]

What Internet speed do you have ? Here in Spain I have 4Mb, but I only download at 90kb/s or so...

I love this better .. than the regular mint :D

[MegaManNeo]

@Linuxrat Totally agreed.

Well, actually his plans are great and for sure also good to *NIX.

Then again, Canonical does almost nothing upstream-related.

Yea, there is the Software Center but come on!

If they would make things like Unity upstream I'm sure it would work a lot better.

Also, I can't remember reading anywhere that Ubuntu is Linux for Canonical or Shuttleworth.

That's frustrating.

[Linuxrat]

@MegaManNeo

It sure is. I get the feeling Shuttleworth has big plans for Ubuntu and I really don't like the direction those plans are going in.
