Keep in mind that they sell DVDs and ask for donations, but that they don't provide a user mailing list! Very often Mint users can't get help by the Mint Forums and ask for help on Ubuntu mailing lists. While Ubuntu users are willing to help Mint users, it's often impossible to help, since from an Ubuntu user's point of view Mint packages are third party packages. IMO it's foolish to use Mint. What is the reason to prefer an Ubuntu derivative over an official Ubuntu flavour? "What is this list for? ubuntu-users is a mailing list staffed by volunteer community members to provide technical support to Ubuntu Users. Users of Ubuntu and officially supported derivatives (Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu [1]) can get support here. Users of derivatives (such as Backtrack and Linux Mint) are not officially supported." - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuUsersListFAQ#FAQ1 [1] the list of Ubuntu flavours is incomplete, however, apart from the ubuntu-users mailing list, the flavours have their own mailing lists, for example Ubuntu Studio https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
