A few weeks ago, I downloaded and installed Debian 6.0 Squeeze (testing) on a seperate partition.
I selected Xfce as my DesktopEnvironment/WM (with as little Gnome bloat as possible).
I just like it better, than Gnome or KDE.
I am at the point where, I have, started to
Mint-ify it.
So far I have added the Mint repositories to the Debian (testing) repositories, and MintMenu ....
I think, I'm going to wait until after Helena-8 is released before adding the rest of the Mint specific items.
(The Mint-8 release date is not that far away)
I love the
rolling release of Debian Squeeze.

My Mint-Squeeze is fast, with eye-candy.
After, I am finished with my new version of Mint-Debian-Squeeze/Xfce (testing) . . . is it possible to release it to other people?
How does one make an ISO LiveDVD of an OS? Or put it on a flash-drive?
I guess, I could write a detailed Tutorial of how to make your own Mint-Debian
(but, that will still be awhile ... I'm having fun playing)
