Very impressive book. The mobi looks great on my Kindle Fire. There is even a bit about Linux Mint in the bookcraigevil wrote:no need to add sid, just download the debian-handbook .deb

Once installed you can open it in any web browser by going to:
/usr/share/doc/debian-handbook/html/index.html
I installed it, and also downloaded the mobi version for my phone and my kindle fire.

somehow i missed this the old domain is still up (until the end of the year more or less) but it's a good idea to start moving to the new onediazepan11 wrote:debian-multimedia repos have changed to http://www.deb-multimedia.org

As I don't want to be bothered, I don't intent to transfert the domain
name. I'll delete the DNS entries in six months and not renew the domain
name.

both are basically the same, the core components are there in both (main upstream import), the diff is backport (empty as far as i can remember) and romeo (the so called unstable where Clem sometimes tests somes pkgs before they are merged to main)rop75 wrote:hi, I 've got a question:
I am planning to change my repos to testing when Debian freezes (by the second half of June) and I am going to use the original LMDE repos based in testing as stated in your FAQ. However there is a thing I don't understand: Why "latest LMDE" uses this repo: deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import, and "LMDE testing" uses this one: deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import backport romeo?. Is there much difference as far as stability is concerned?.
Thx.
