New features in Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon

Linux Mint 17.3 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2019. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop experience more comfortable to use.

Linux Mint 17.3 available for download.

• Simplify Command-Line Package Management with APT instead of apt-get

APT, the Advanced Package Tool from the Debian project, is for managing packages by using a lot of separate tools to accomplish various tasks. In the past, users needed to know multiple command structures like apt-get, apt-cache, apt-config, and many more to utilize the full feature-set of APT.

Race Cars Runs LINUX!

Sent in by: Nathan S.

Hi guys, I found a cool project run by castrol edge. They are racing two cars on a race track with the drivers wearing virtual reality helmets. Cameras and sensors on the cars feed information into an Ubuntu laptop inside the car and generate the VR display. Thanks for producing the great content that gets me through a 300 mile a week bus commute to school.

Mozilla Wants To Split Off Its Thunderbird Email/Chat Client, Says Mitchell Baker Memo

“I believe Thunderbird should would thrive best by separating itself from reliance on Mozilla development systems and in some cases, Mozilla technology,” Baker wrote in her open memo, posted on Mozilla’s public governance forum. “The current setting isn’t stable, and we should start actively looking into how we can transition in an orderly way to a future where Thunderbird and Firefox are un-coupled.”

• Mozilla’s conundrum: What to do about Thunderbird?

Baker, who says she uses Thunderbird to organize vast parts of her life, now believes that the email client will thrive best if it does not rely on Mozilla for development resources and, in some cases, on Mozilla technology. “The current setting isn’t stable, and we should start actively looking into how we can transition in an orderly way to a future where Thunderbird and Firefox are un-coupled,” she wrote in Mozilla’s public governance forum on Monday.

Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) Preview:
From Mint’s site: LMDE also represents an alternative, with the same desktop, the same functionality, but a different base, and a difference in hardware support and compatibility.

• Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) is a rolling distribution based on Debian Testing.
• At the moment, it comes as a 32-bit live DVD with a Gnome desktop.
• The purpose of LMDE is to look identical to the main edition and to provide the same functionality while using Debian as a base.

About the Installer: The live installer is developed from scratch with Debian in mind. It’s configurable and it can be re-used by other Debian-based distributions.

Dedicated chat room: #linuxmint-debian is open to new LMDE users on irc.spotchat.org.
