I just installed Linux Mint 13 from a DVD and it came with XFCE.
How do I change it to Mate?
Do I just download Mate and install it over the top?
Thanks
John

Re: Change from XFCE to Mate
Pretty much, yeah.
To make sure you get everything, install the mate-desktop-environment package.
After that, just log out, choose "MATE" from the Session menu, and login.
If you don't want XFCE on your computer at all afterwards, you can optionally remove xfce through the package manager.
