* News about Mint<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The first RC of Mint 6 Felicia is released<\/a><\/p>\n

Release notes here<\/a><\/p>\n

We want the community to test it thoroughly the next two weeks<\/p>\n

Much of the new stuff in Felicia will be ported to Mint 5 Elyssa<\/p>\n

In fact if you have enabled Romeo (our unstable repository) and installed\/updated you will find Felicia familiar.<\/p>\n

It took a large effort to create both the main and Community Editions (KDE, XFCE and\u00a0 Fluxbox) of Mint 5 which means that we have not had the time to add new artwork and new Mint tools as much as we wanted<\/p>\n

We intend to add Wubi (in Mint WLMI) before the final version is released and also have metapackages with new artwork around the time of release<\/p>\n

We have changed the way we work on new editions which will make it easier to create metapackages. We hope to have metapackages for the different Mint desktops in the future<\/p>\n
