[QUOTE="Soulbound, post: 461640, member: 33155"] Tho the guide is extensive, there is some misinformation. Linux mint is entirely based on Ubuntu for starters. Should also make note that Ubuntu was actually built based on Debian code, hence why both use APT, but Ubuntu developed the PPAs which you can actually use on Debian if you know what you are doing. Just because they put Cinnamon and MATE, which are their inhouse DEs, doesn't mean the base is not Ubuntu. What they have extra are repos aside from Ubuntu official repos. This guide also touches briefly some distros but then where is the Debian love? A new user will not really read through all that. Also, there are specifically 2 wiki pages that have extensive information for Linux user, even if you do not run them: Arch and Gentoo Those are the two that will go step by step in CLI partitioning for example. Sure not everything in the wiki's are applicable for let's say Ubuntu/Debian/OpenSUSE/Fedora but it does have a wealth of information available. [/QUOTE]
