Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE)
Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) is a semi-rolling distribution based on Debian Testing. The purpose of LMDE is to look identical to the main edition and to provide the same functionality while using Debian as a base. LMDE is compatible with repositories designed for Debian Testing. You don’t need to ever re-install the system. New versions of software and updates are continuously brought to you. It’s faster and more responsive than Ubuntu-based editions. LMDE requires a deeper knowledge and experience with Linux, dpkg and APT. Debian is a less user-friendly/desktop-ready base than Ubuntu.
Linux Mint distribution is based on Ubuntu, it offers more complete out-of-the-box experience by including useful stuff like browser media codecs, DVD playback, plugins for browser, Java and other components. The purpose of Linux Mint is to produce a modern, elegant and comfortable operating system which is both powerful and easy to use. It’s both free of cost and open source, it provides about 30,000 packages and one of the best software managers.
It’s safe and reliable. Thanks to a conservative approach to software updates, a unique Update Manager and the robustness of its Linux architecture, Linux Mint requires very little maintenance (no regressions, no antivirus, no anti-spyware…etc).
