Am using !LibreOffice 3.4.5 on Mint Debian.
-
@mjjzf How are you liking Mint?
-
It's nice. On Mint Debian at the moment, with Xfce - can't decide between that and MATE.
-
@mjjzf I understood everything except I have no idea what Xfce and MATE are :o
-
@laurelrusswurm MATE is an attempt to continue Gnome2, and Xfce is a somewhat lighter desktop environment. I am back on Fedora 17 Lxde ..
-
.. version.
-
@mjjzf Now I'm more confused. Are you distro hopping or is Mint a version of Fedora? (I thought they were different distros)
-
@laurelrusswurm Mint comes in various versions, with different desktop envsornments, not that the qaulity is up to much these days
-
@laurelrusswurm Your thought was correct: Mint and Fedora are completely different distros
-
@laurelrusswurm Mint was originally an "improved Ubuntu". Now there is an "improved Debian" Mint also.
-
No, Mint is an independent distribution, derivative of Ubuntu & Debian. Fedora is another beast.
