New to Mint

Postby qa1433 on Thu Jun 21, 2007 10:47 am

Hi all,

I am currently using PCLinux2007. However, I like what I have been reading about Mint.

When the KDE version is released I am thinking of trying it out.

Do you use the same repositories as Ubunto/Kbunto? Also, is it easy to upgrade to the next release when it becomes avalible.

Thanks for answering'

Yes it uses the same repos as Ubuntu.
Upgrading means changing repos and doing dist-upgrade.
Make sure you backup first.
Things can break.

I prefer a fresh install myself !!!

the best advice to you is to put you /home is a separate partition.

Waiting patiently for the KDE version.
