Release Schedule for Bianca (Linux Mint 2.2)
Here's the release schedule for Bianca (Linux Mint 2.2):
- BETA release: 01/02/2007 (Thursday).
- FINAL release: 20/02/2007 (Tuesday).
We encourage people who want to help to download and install the BETA as soon as it is released. With your feedback and the 20 days gap between the two releases we have an opportunity to find issues and bugs and to tackle them the best we can to make the final release of Bianca one of the best distributions there is.
Thank you very much,
Clem.
PS: It will be possible to upgrade from Bea and Bianca BETA to Bianca FINAL. The release notes for the final release will explain how to do so.

Clem - will there be a way of upgrading the home system from the CD?
The reason I ask is that I have a limit of bandwidth I can use per month and I have all of my home desktop PC's running Mint right now(Mine, Wife's, and the kids'). I'd hate to have to do a system update 3 times.
Maybe I'll just have to make a home repo of the files but updating from the cd would be great.

I have a spare partition for the beta Clem but we need a better way of reporting problems (unless messages here are best for you) how about something like this http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key= ... VM7v8yaxHA
Flash plugin: This is a bug. It'll be fixed in the stable version. http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php ... a_BETA_014

Hi All,
I've just had the time to install BIANCA,
I see that the FLASH plug-in worked right out-of-the-box. I checked out my Site for that.
The addition of the SLED menu is an additional feature.
I have a bunch of testing parameters that I use to test my OS, graphics card, Internet access, etc. I'm, of course, going to have to play here. But, would enjoy contributing to the process.
On the Negative side -- the start-up graphics, and desktop are no where near what I liked with 2.1. I did like that blue.
I'm new here, but have been around SuSE, and Ubuntu forever. LOL!
