Most Ubuntu solutions work for Mint [&#8230;]<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&gt; We changed the way we build Linux Mint since version 6. Until now the latest release was built by upgrading the previous one and Linux Mint, initially forked from Ubuntu Edgy, was following its own separate branch. With Linux Mint 6 and for future release we decided to focus on the desktop layer and to leave the Ubuntu base intact. We now build Linux Mint directly off their equivalent Ubuntu releases. So the two distributions are more compatible than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>Dedoimedo writes: &#8220;<em>[&#8230;] it has a tremendous User Guide.<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&gt; The Main Edition of Linux Mint comes with a PDF User Guide.
