Debian with a Hint of Mint (Linux Magazine)
Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier takes a
look at Linux Mint Debian. "
Right now the only edition for LMD is a 32-bit GNOME release. KDE and other desktops, and 64-bit editions, are on hold pending the success (or not) of the first release. With any luck, this will be a long-term effort from the Linux Mint project, and we'll see 64-bit and more soon. It offers a more polished experience while still leaving a direct link to the Debian project. The Mint folks are still sorting out bug reporting, etc., but it'd be fantastic if Mint encouraged more people to become directly involved in Debian (and Mint) through this edition."
