Linux Mint 18 Sarah Images Available for VirtualBox and VMware

Linux Mint project announced the new version of Linux Mint 18 codenamed “Sarah” based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, available in Cinnamon and Mate editions. “A new project called X-Apps was started and its goal is to produce generic applications for traditional GTK+ desktop environments. The idea behind this project is to replace applications which no longer integrate properly outside of a particular environment (this is the case for a growing number of GNOME applications). Within Linux Mint, you won’t need to adapt to X-Apps, because in many cases, they’re very similar or exactly the same as the applications you were already using. For instance, Totem 3.18 (which is available in the Linux Mint 18 repositories) is radically different than Totem 3.10 which shipped with Linux Mint 17, but Xplayer 1.0 (which is the default media player in Linux Mint 18) is exactly the same. The goal of the X-Apps is not to reinvent the wheel. Quite the opposite in fact, it’s to guarantee the maintenance of applications we already enjoyed and to steer their development in a direction that benefits multiple desktop environments.” You can read release announcement here for Cinnamon and Mate.
