"The idea of a Linux Mint desktop based on top of Debian Testing is quite seducing. It’s much faster than Ubuntu and the current Linux Mint desktops, it uses less resources, and it opens the door for a rolling distribution, with a continuous flow of updates and no jumps from one release to another. It’s something we’ve always been tempted to do. Needless to say, whether it’s been because of our lack of communication on that topic or not, this has been a source of numerous rumors within the community.

A while ago, we released an ALPHA non-installable liveCD based on Debian. Then, last August I announced I was working on a new installer, and recently, I was joined by Ikey Doherty to work on the Debian base again.This time we’re producing our own liveCD, straight from the Debian Testing repositories, and it also comes with its own installer. What we’re aiming at, this time, is a fully working and fully installable liveCD which behaves in every way as similarly as the main Linux Mint edition."

I'm running Mint 9 Gnome right now and it's amazing. This on Debian would be a dream.

Thought I'd update this to say that Linux Mint Debian Edition was released recently.

I seriously want to install this on my MythBox and install the latest version of MythTV. Currently listening to the show's replay on Mythbuntu 8.04 using the Mythstream plugin...which sadly is no longer included with MythTV. Mythnetvision is supposed to be its successor, but it doesn't play internet radio. Might try to install the Jaunty version of Mythstream in Linux Mint Debian and see how that works.
