upgrade from RC

[godsotherhand]

I installed the RC of mint 11. Now i see that mint 11 is released..
My question is: Do i need to reinstall mint 11 or by using the mintupdate i will have mint11?
Asking cus in the last week i only got an update for firefox >.< and my compiz bugs are still here, even though it's up to date.

Yes, If you have Mint 11 RC and update you get Mint 11.

"To upgrade from Linux Mint 11 RC, simply apply any level 1 and 2 updates (if any) available in the Update Manager."

so mint11 came out with alot of compiz bugs? lol, strange..

Yes, it's a know bug: http://linuxmint.com/rel_katya.php#upstream

Compiz Fusion
If you experience problems with the window manager (with window borders, focus or mouse clicks) launch "Fusion Icon" from the menu, and use the Fusion tray icon to switch your window manager to "Metacity".
Upstream regressions affect the "Cube" plugin in particular. It is recommended not to activate this plugin in Linux Mint 11.

Compiz is, as mentioned, very buggy right now, probably due to bugs being accidentally introduced during their code rewrite. I would recommend, based on my own experience, downgrading Compiz to 0.8.6 from this ppa if you're really set on using Compiz and don't want to fuss with the bugs. I did (even though I managed to set up Compiz how I wanted and avoided the worst bug, having it disable every plugin seemingly at random...) and I don't regret it in the least.
