While I agree that Mint itself is not reason enough, it is not the only DE/flavour that may have problems with USC just from a SW POV. I personally can't evaluate Mint right now as gnome3 libs and my video card (or it's driver) are at odds. > That's why Quantal perhaps is my last Ubuntu (Studio).

I'm undecided. Well, our menu will work with any of them if the still use an xdg style menu. The package contains no code itself, just a menu config file and the files that it needs to work (Icons, desktop files and directory files). Untarring it in / and then removing the debian directory should work. Well I haven't tried it :) but thats the theory anyway. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
