Linux Lovers: Linux Mint 8 ‘Helena’ released
We know a lot of folks love Linux Mint on their netbooks. Well, there is a good news for all of you. Linux Mint version 8 (codenamed ‘Helena’) has been released.
There are two editions:
- Main edition whose size is 688MB (Torrent Link)
- Universal edition whose size is 1GB (Torrent Link)
What is the difference between Universal and Main edition?
Well, the purpose of the Universal Edition is to bring a localized live system to non-English speaking users of Linux Mint and to facilitate the distribution of Linux Mint in countries where software patents are enforceable (USA, Japan).
Its system requirements are pretty low and that is the reason it runs so beautifully on any netbook our there.
A minimum of 512MB of RAM is recommended. Once installed the system works fine with as low as 256MB RAM. The installation process deals with 2.5GB of data compressed on a 700MB CD and it can hang or fail on systems with less than 512MB RAM. If you have between 256MB and 512MB RAM you may have to try to install several times.
