"Linux Mint 16 features MATE 1.6, MDM 1.4, a Linux kernel 3.11 and an Ubuntu 13.10 package base."
So based on Ubuntu 13.10 which means EOL in July 2014.
I'm looking at the LTS release of this distribution (based on Ubuntu 14.04) as a possible replacement for CentOS 6.4 with wider package choices.
- zoowar 13y agoDoes this mean it includes Canonical spyware?
- keithpeter 13y agoI imagine the Mint people chop all the Unity libraries out, which means no Dash search or lenses, hence no sending of search terms to remote servers. I think that they use the Ubuntu repositories for base packages, X server and for installing application software and add their own repositories on top for the MATE specific stuff such as MDM and MATE itself. Disclaimer: I don't currently use Mint
- ensignavenger 13y agoI don't think so, I use Mint in part because it removes some of Canonical's garbage- and I really like Cinnamon.
