The unofficial LMDE Xfce UP6 SR1
23/01/2013
webworker has been so kind again to provide us with a mirror download.

The unofficial LMDE Xfce UP6 SR1 is out.
The following bugs were solved:
- Some cups/printing packages are missing and cups-pdf is giving problems.
- VLC looks ugly (default gtk theme).
- Samba shares don't work because of an empty /etc/network/interfaces file.
- The menu editor Alacarte is not always working as expected, but as long there is no good alternative we'll have to learn to live with it.
These are the live installers for the unofficial LMDE Xfce or you can download them from my homepage.
