Linux Mint Debian (201009) released
Today is very important for Linux Mint. It’s one day to remember in the history of our project as we’re about to maintain a new distribution, a rolling one, which promises to be faster, more responsive and on which we’re less reliant on upstream components.
Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) comes with a Debian base, which we transformed into a live media and on top of which we added a new installer. It’s rougher and in some aspects not as user-friendly as our other editions, it’s very young but it will improve continuously and rapidly, and it brings us one step closer to a situation where we’re fully in control of the system without being impacted by upstream decisions.
LMDE also represents an alternative, with the same desktop, the same functionality, but a different base, and a difference in hardware support and compatibility.

I am very excited to read this!
'excited' may not be right....
> I am very excited to read this!
I've commented before reading the article; I am excited for a Debian-based, KDE-featuring version of Mint. This isn't quite there, as it uses GNOME. Closer though.

Mint creates a user experience that is not the same as mepis.
One that I think is better personally.
