Wayne Topa Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:24:26 -0400 >>> I just looked for lmde in the debian packages and it is not there
and it's not in the original post @ http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/04/msg01217.html either, because LMDE is not a package >>> I am guessing the lmde might be a Linux Mint package. You would be wrong. LMDE is a Mint distribution based on, and completely compatible with, debian. Its packages are pure debian, not ubuntu or mint.
