Linux Mint 14.1 has been released for Cinnamon and MATE, but apparently not for KDE and Xfce. Will there be a 14.1 release for KDE and Xfce?
I am particularly interested because I understand that 14.1 has a fix for (U)EFI issues, although my preference would be to get LM13 working so that I would have LTS. I have tried to no avail to install LM13 and LM14 on an IBM x3400 m3. I was also unable to install Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.04.2, but finally able to install Ubuntu Server 12.04.2 and then install Ubuntu desktop and Gnome-panel, but installation of KDE caused crashes. The ideal would be to have the (U)EFI fixes backported to LM 13 LTS. Thanks.

Re: LM 14.1 KDE?
No, you misunderstand. Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon and MATE ISOs were released, but were found to have a few problems that warranted the release of a new ISO. Hence the release of 14.1 as detailed here: http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2234. Linux Mint 14 KDE was released later, and already includes those fixes so didn't need to get a new release: http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2271.

Re: LM 14.1 KDE?
Thanks, Xenopeek! Glad to know that there was no need for a bug fix version of LM 14 KDE. However, I wonder if it might have helped avoid potential confusion to have renumbered all releases that contained the fixes to the same number; this would make for consistency as well.
