I don't know exactly, but I always keep my eye on the ISO Testing section of the Linux Mint Community website, as well as the Xfce forum here.azathoth wrote:Any idea when the final will be out on this? Rumors, smoke signals, etc?
To the best of my knowledge, the RC will become the final version via normal updates. That said, I always do a clean install with the final ISO, despite the fact that I know it'll be the same. I'm sure there's a section in a psychology textbook about the disorder.azathoth wrote:I've been using the RC since it came out and it seems really tight. I was just wondering if I should bother transferring much media (quite a lot) onto this partition or just hold out for the final? I generally do a clean install.
As for all your media, what I do is create a separate, non-OS-dependent "data" partition, and just mount it after the install. This way, I can do clean installs whenever I want (thereby enabling my own psychosis above), without worrying about the data. Furthermore, this allows me to have multiple OS PCs that use the same data partition.
