Re: A stable LMDE?
Hello, all, and thank you for all the responses.
I downloaded Linux Mint "Debian" - 201012 Gnome 64-bit from http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=75, and installed it. Followed http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/497 up to
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Run first update
Now its time for the first big update! Type this into terminal:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and the screenshot is what's going on now, as I type: . There must be something I'm missing, here. How do I get out of that changelog so that the terminal will get on with the dist-upgrade? It's probably real simple, just too simple for me.
Continued help will surely be appreciated. Thank you.

Re: A stable LMDE?
Are you just being polite? When I click on http://mirror.yellowfiber.net/linuxmint ... -amd64.iso, what I get is: . . . Well, it won't upload and I get the following message from Linux Mint forums:LifeInTheGrey wrote:I'm not sure what you mean ... I just clicked on the link you put in this post, and it started downloading. I'll see if I can find more and I'll put other links in the tutorial, but that one works just fine.Pythzor wrote:Hello, all,
As far as I can tell, iso images are no longer available at - http://mirror.yellowfiber.net/linuxmint ... -amd64.iso. So I'm trying to use what I have: a 32 bit LMDE dvd that I burned last March, to follow LifeInTheGrey's LMDE Squeeze Setup (Complete) http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/497
And just like at http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=198&t=90141, this attempt is sticking in a changelog in the terminal, update manager won't do it because of "broken packages," and synaptic package manager says it has fixed the dependency issues, but update manager says it isn't so.
This is just an update on where I'm at, presently. I'll be looking for around for 201012 and 201101 ISOs.
Cheers
Edit: I've added two additional download sources in the tutorial for both i386 and amd64. I tested them here, all initiated a download, so there should be PLENTY of options now.
"The extension html is not allowed.
The upload was rejected because the uploaded file was identified as a possible attack vector.
Let me me try a different way: .

AHA! That worked for me. The dist-upgrade is continuing, now.asermax wrote:Weird, i have never encountered this changelog screen when updating, either through apt-get or some GUI...
Anyway, for the ":" at the end of the terminal output, i would say that the interface is pretty much the same used on man or vim, you could try pressing "q" and then <Enter> to see if it exits the changelog and continues with the update

Re: A stable LMDE?
I suppose the answer is self-evident, but I'm asking for advice anyway:
What do you all think?
Thank you for the help.

I said YES to everything when I set up my LMDE-Stable-Debian Backports.
Has been most excellent this past month.

But like I said, there are a couple other download options on the tutorial, and someone else in the thread referenced the post on linuxmint.com for the different editions to download. So should be no worries now.
the beauty of linux is that the rabbit hole goes as deep as you want it to go.

I see YellowFiber is back up and running. Looks like I first showed up there at a bad time.Pythzor wrote:LifeInTheGrey wrote:I'm not sure what you mean ...
