I don't want to make a distro based on Mint. I want Mint to release their os without a desktop environment as a server edition.
Please?
It's really nothing but compiling an image without desktop environment or dependencies for a DE.
Pretty please?

Can you take Ubuntu server and re-brand it then?xenopeek wrote:Post split from http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=28717 and moved here.

But seriously.
Another thing that makes Mint what it is, is it doesn't follow Ubuntu's updates! Mintupdate has the packages to be updated figured out by someone at Mint I'm assuming.
You could make it Mint server, as opposed to Ubuntu server simply by forking apt-get into mint-get, and feed mintupdates into that, so we don't have Ubuntu's 50 daily updates always breaking things...

Re: Mint without a desktop environment
I think that a server edition would be great, but I have to admit that it would be more work and more things to mantain... Especially a server edition, where the stability is primordial. And, in my opinion, Ubuntu Server is good enough... But if a Minty fan did a server edition, I'd like it
