Is LMDE compatible with Ubuntu-based Linux Mint editions?<\/h5>\n<p>No, it is not. LMDE is compatible with Debian, which isn\u2019t compatible with Ubuntu.<\/p>\n<h5>2. Is LMDE fully compatible with Debian?<\/h5>\n<p>Yes, 100%. LMDE is compatible with repositories designed for Debian Testing or Debian Squeeze.<\/p>\n<h5>3. What is a rolling distribution?<\/h5>\n<p>LMDE  constantly receives updates. Its ISO images are updated now and  then  but users do not require to re-install it on their systems.<\/p>\n<h5>4. How does LMDE compare to the Ubuntu-based editions?<\/h5>\n<p>Pros:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You don\u2019t need to ever re-install the system. New versions of software and updates are continuously brought to you.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s faster and more responsive than Ubuntu-based editions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Although  it\u2019s using Romeo for unstable packages, LMDE continuously  changes as it  receives updates and new software. Compared to a frozen  version of  Linux Mint which changes very little once it\u2019s publicly  released, it\u2019s  not as stable. Things are likely to break more often but  fixes can also  come quicker. For this reason, LMDE requires a deeper  knowledge and  experience with Linux, dpkg and APT.<\/li>\n<li>Debian is a less user-friendly\/desktop-ready base than Ubuntu. Expect some rough edges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>5. Will it come with KDE or other desktops?<\/h5>\n<p>The  decision wasn\u2019t made yet. When it\u2019s fully  on par with the  Main Edition and if there is a demand for it, further  editions will come  for LMDE.<\/p>\n<h4>Additional notes:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>About the installer:<\/strong> The live installer is  developed from scratch  with Debian in mind. It\u2019s configurable and it  can be re-used by other  Debian-based distributions. We noticed a lack  in live technologies and in live Debian installers, so we\u2019re happy to  take the lead on this. If you\u2019re a developer and you\u2019re interested in  using it, have a look at its <a href=\"http:\/\/github.com\/linuxmint\/live-installer\">source repository<\/a> and don\u2019t hesitate to contact us so we can help you fork it and merge upcoming changes between our two projects.<\/li>\n<li><strong>About bugs:<\/strong> Please use Launchpad for bug  reports.<\/li>\n<li><strong>About the media:<\/strong> It comes as a liveDVD. Locales  work differently in Debian and the package base requires more space. We  made LMDE compatible with unetbootin though, so you can install it using  a USB stick.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dedicated chat room:<\/strong> #linuxmint-debian is open to LMDE users on irc.spotchat.org.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Download links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our forums go down regularly these days due to an increase in traffic and activity within the community. Our servers couldn&#8217;t deal at all with the recent release of Linux Mint 10 and this made it hard for many people to download the ISO files the day of the release.
