In this case, we must select the country or region in which we live. Now we select the variant of the keyboard that we use. In general, this configuration must be generic depending on the language we select, but we can set changes manually, as is logical.
This step is extremely important. Disk partitioning is a bit of a delicate process. Basically the partition will be made as follows:. Yes, I know this may sound a bit difficult, but it really isn't. In the case of this post, we assume that you already know how to partition and that this step has passed it without any problem.
After partitioning we have to put our data. First our full name which is optional. Then our username , which is the user that we are going to use to access our session. Then our password and finally, the name of our team. Unless you know what you do, step 6 which is to install the GRUB you should leave it as it comes by default, especially if you have more than one system on your computer.
After this part, the wizard will show us a summary of the actions that the system will do and the installation will begin. Once this process is finished, which lasts around 5 to 10 minutes depending on the hardware of our equipment, LMDE It will notify us that it has finished installing. In the next installment we will see how to update our system and how install uninstall certain packages that we may or may not use.
We will also show you some tips to optimize our system a little more. The content of the article adheres to our principles of editorial ethics. To report an error click here!

How much does this distro consume, that is, what hardware requirements do you need, since I have a friend who has started with Debian 6 and the poor guy is going through a huge job, I suggested this distro, but I need to know the requirements, since he has a p4 with Mb of ra and a cpu at 2. Second, regarding the Mint repositories, I understand that it was a necessary change to make beforehand, because the Debian testing repositories sometimes caused problems, this was added to the changes to mint-update.
At least I, had made the change of repositories a long time ago and everything is going great. I haven't used this distro but is it not as easy as doing apt-get update or aptitude update? I ask. The Courage problem is, that with the previous iso when you installed and it was time to update, you had to download a lot of packages, 1GB or more.
For those with good bandwidth it is not a problem, but luckily for the rest, now the update is less. Thanks Carlos once again for stopping by. It is true what you say, a slightly more up-to-date image was needed because with the first one they released, more than 1 Gb of packages had to be updated. Now I hope they give us an update on. About the repositories, I understand what you are saying, and I understand Mint's decision, but the problem is that, in my work because of having such a slow connection, we cannot afford to update directly against the internet.
Hello, I would like to know how to install this distro on a pc with windows xp? That is, to have the two systems on the same hard disk, since I am interested in LMDE but I cannot migrate at all, since I use many video editors liquid, vegas, etc. When you have it, then you proceed to install on that partition. So, if something gets complicated for me, I will ask you for sure. Ah, thanks for answering my question shortly! Can you clarify this point please.
If I can solve it or you can tell me how to do it, I am determined to install it. Thank you. In fact, the last distro you install should be able to detect all the others installed on the Grub. Is that your question? Thanks for your answer elav. Cleared my doubts I will proceed this next weekend to the installation of this distribution since I will have more time to do it because I have read that it is a magnificent operating system. I already have the installation DVD ready to install. By the way and just out of curiosity: Testing the installation DVD and opening the sources list I verify that the list of repositories is not the same as you indicate in this post.
I use LMDE, it is not as complicated as Arch but it has its little things, not everything is pink, let's see -Openshot, blender, and some other application gives problems of broken packages, that is, dependencies that it cannot solve in itself.
I have never tried installing Blender and similar packages so I can't tell you much about that. I want LMDE and nothing else, but the installer won't let me use the 2 hard drives, I had to choose one. It also asks me for the password every time to mount it. Games and Video drivers work pretty well with Mint and I did have a few problems when it came to the pure Debian distro. I guess I'm not satisfied with the brief description that the Mint team or Google gives of why.
I mean int the end isn't Ubuntu a child of Debian? Is Mint going to drop Ubuntu as its base? Or it the end goal and pure Debian Mint or rebuild like Solus or Arch?
One of the things that makes Linux Mint great is that Ubuntu and Debian are great. With Linux Mint based on Ubuntu you have point release to get newer software. Selected other software may also get a newer release when upgrading to a point release of Linux Mint e. You're on the long-term supported package base of Ubuntu and you can choose if you want to upgrade the most visible parts of your operating system to a newer release.
All the point releases 18, The benefit of Linux Mint based on Ubuntu is that it is fully compatible with Ubuntu so you can find lots of additional software repositories PPAs for installing more or newer software, there is a lot of information about hardware compatibility, you can use instructions meant for Ubuntu, and there is good support from commercial software especially games for Ubuntu or even Linux Mint itself e.
LMDE is based on Debian stable and does not have point releases. You get also newer releases of Cinnamon and MATE whichever you're using and newer releases of other Linux Mint developed software like Software Manager, Update Manager and so on but in a semi-rolling release fashion.
Meaning you see these as available upgrades in Update Manager itself and don't need to upgrade to a point release as you do with Linux Mint. The benefit of Linux Mint based on Debian is that it is fully compatible with Debian so you can use Debian repositories like backports and testing for installing more or newer software, you can use instructions meant for Debian, it is arguably more stable as it is based on Debian stable while Ubuntu also imports packages from Debian unstable into its long-term supported repository and it has arguably a more strict security policy as Debian security teams first and foremost pay attention to all packages in Debian stable while Ubuntu imports certain packages from Debian unstable and for many additional packages universe and multiverse repositories the work is done by community maintainers who may depend on the work of the Debian security teams.
Mind that stable means "no changes to functionality and with known bugs" -- not with no bugs Ultimately both have a place and based on your intended use or need you may prefer to use the one or the other.
They are both great choices. Post by thobin » Sun Jan 29, pm So there is no goal of switching to pure Debian in the long run?
