Re: Linux Mint 13 'Maya' released
I guess for those who do not care for Unity 
I think Clem and company should focus on (and put their resources into) Linux Mint Debian Edition

Re: Linux Mint 13 'Maya' released
I almost think MATE should be the default but its nice they offer choice. MATE seems perfectly stable now and is good old Gnome 2 but Cinnamon would have the customizability due to the easily script-able applets and layouts etc. Just it suffers some stability bugs still IMO.

Re: Linux Mint 13 'Maya' released
I didn't try the direct link. Torrent is usually faster here. Ah, well. I won't burn it and try it until tomorrow anyway.

Re: Linux Mint 13 'Maya' released
The Mate version took a tad longer.. 4.5 minutes 
Think I'll try that first (Live) 'cos I already tried the RC of Cinnamon...

Re: Linux Mint 13 'Maya' released
MATE's the first one I'm going after. The release notes had some interesting glitches listed in that one, though. <..  ..>

Re: Linux Mint 13 'Maya' released
FWIW, usually there is an American university in the list of mirrors. I find that getting it from one of them is quite fast--it used to be much slower than torrents, but now, they seem to have some good US mirrors.

Got it. But it's tired out tonight, so I'll burn it in the morning.

I hope it's not named that because you store it between buns.

Wayne, how do you usually write it to USB? I am having terrible luck with mint isos on USB! Every other iso I have tried works! Same thing with Mint 13 too. I have been using dd.
Cinnamon RC was nice - on a VBox! Downloading MATE. Will do a hardware install USB drive permitting!

Re: Linux Mint 13 'Maya' released
I use Unetbootin to write to USB. Hasn't failed me yet.

Re: Linux Mint 13 'Maya' released
In my experience--speaking VERY generally and there can be exceptions---for Debian/Ubuntu based distros, using unetbootin is an easy way that usually works.
For RH based, e.g., CentOS and other RHEL clones, as well as Fedora, I've found livecd-iso-to-disk to work very well. (It doesn't have to be a live cd, it works on the netinstall and regular install media too.
