If you are a user of LMDE (aka Linux Mint Debian Edition), good to know that you already have the Update Pack 7 for this distribution.
To do this, the first thing is to have the mirrors well established with this update. Make sure they are these:
http://debian.linuxmint.com/ http://debian.lth.se/lmde/ http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/linuxmint-debian/ http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/linuxmint/debian/ http://mirror.komsys.org/pub/linuxmint/debian/ http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/debian.linuxmint.com/debian/ http://mirror.metrocast.net/linuxmint-debian/ http://ucmirror.canterbury.ac.nz/linux/mint/debian/
Then you can do a normal update using the Update Manager.
During the update it will ask us where to install GRUB, and should choose "normally" / Dev / sda
The next ISO of LMDE will go out with him Update Pack 8 that includes (among other things) Cinnamon 2.0 y MATE 1.8.

Excellent, although I'm already starting to like Arch.
are you using manjaro ?? or archlinux….
I wish there was an official version with KDE.
I suggest SolydXK in that case.
I would like to see that of Cinnamon 2.0, according to Clem from this version his desktop would stop depending on Gnome.
* to depend
If that means it's going to be lighter, great.
Although now that I have tried KD3 on the other computer, and I like what has improved, I am a bit messed up 😀
Now I am in Mint 13 with Cinnamon 1.8 installed from the backports and it consumes me a little more than 350 MB, the slow thing is the time it takes to load the desktop (the same KDE problem), in itself it is lighter than Unity.
I have a fondness for this "distro" like the girlfriend where the relationship didn't work out after a couple of weeks and sometimes you think about what could be and didn't.
I do not know if it is the lack of personnel or capacity, but what they are covering they are not managing to support well, neither in the Ubuntu-based version, nor in the Debian version.
The Ubuntu-based version for me is fine, but to say that LMDE is abandoned would be to lower the profile, SolydXK is much better with MATE / Cinnamon installed.
excuse me for ignorance..I have recently used LMDE. How do I set the mirrors? thanks.
If I'm not mistaken, it is done from the update manager> edit> software sources> Linux Mint software> Download from… and there you have all the options.
I just read an article about rolling releases on this same website (I didn't know they existed until today xD) and the article seems to be that it already has some tradition, the point is that there they comment that LMDE is not actually rolling because it is based in testing ... does that keep happening ??
