Linux Mint Debian Edition 2 released

Linux Mint Debian Edition is not as well known as its Ubuntu-based sibling. But it offers the convenience of a rolling release along with the advantages of using Debian as its base. Linux Mint Debian Edition 2 has finally been released and you can download the Cinnamon or MATE versions today.

The Linux Mint Blog has details about Linux Mint Debian Edition 2 Cinnamon:

LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) is a very exciting distribution, targeted at experienced users, which provides the same environment as Linux Mint but uses Debian as its package base, instead of Ubuntu.

LMDE is less mainstream than Linux Mint, it has a much smaller user base, it is not compatible with PPAs, and it lacks a few features. That makes it a bit harder to use and harder to find help for, so it is not recommended for novice users.
