I must admit that I don't know much about recent Linux Mint developments and decisions. I'd see the same problem as with Ubuntu (see below: "By default Ubuntu comes with something that is very different from what we advertise on our websites") but I am happy to be proven wrong. :) So in case that you know: Does Linux Mint 12 by default use gnome-shell, or does it use MGSE, or other shells such as Mate (or Cinnamon in version 13) by default? I've been quickly reading through http://blog.linuxmint.com/ but could not find anything that makes it much clearer either to me. andre > 2012/4/1 Juanjo Marín <juanjomari...@yahoo.es>: > > > > > > > > > > ----- Mensaje original ----- > >> De: Andreas Nilsson <andr...@andreasn.se> > >> Para: marketing-list <marketing-list@gnome.org> > >> CC: > >> Enviado: Sábado 31 de marzo de 2012 15:40 > >> Asunto: Getting GNOME page on gnome.org > >> > >> Hi! > >> Shortly before the 3.4 release the web team made some adjustments to the > >> page > >> http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/ > >> This made the links for Arch Linux, Mageia and Debian smaller.
