Well done. Can you please not refer to Mint Linux as Ubuntu Mint. Mint and Ubuntu are two separate projects with their own developers, forums and mailing lists. We are all in the same big happy open source family but there are issues of branding and trademark. The Ubuntu trademark is owned by Canonical and I am sure they would not want it to be diluted. I am sure the Mint people are proud of their work and feel the same. > Then I discovered that the repositories were wrong!!!

I had a Ford made by Mazda. You could probably replace suspension and engine parts with Mazda parts but other would have been to Ford specs. A person in that situation might ask about after market accessories on a Mazda forum and get friendly and useful advice but might also get completely misleading advice if Ford had changed the spec on some parts. -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
