Today, I was reading DistroWatch when I saw an interesting tidbit about how Linux Mint's KDE Edition is moving to a Debian base, though the developers originally intended this KDE release to be based on Ubuntu as before. I think the reason why I felt as surprised as I did was because as opposed to the other editions (Xfce, Fluxbox) which were announced as moving to a Debian base without any previous statements regarding them, the developers did say the KDE edition of Linux Mint would be based on Ubuntu, and judging from the forum posts, this decision seems to have been rather abrupt, as opposed to being more carefully planned.

I hope you enjoy it sam o:)
Just hope you tried mint 10 first then mint debian
To make mint debian more stable just point the sorces list from testing to squeeze

strange. Might have been me doing a slight tweak at the time.
I downloaded mint 10 and 11 to try.
