Terry is using LMDE - Linux Mint Debian Edition. From the LM website LMDE is:
- ...a semi-rolling distribution based on Debian Testing. - It’s available in both 32 and 64-bit as a live DVD with MATE or Cinnamon. - The purpose of LMDE is to look identical to the main edition and to provide the same functionality while using Debian as a base.
As it happens I'm sending this from a laptop with LMDE on awaiting a number of updates, inc grup-pc but also update to the latest release, UP7. I see in the release notes that it says do not do any updates until you've upgraded the Update Pack to version 7, then do package updates.
Yes, I'm using LMDE, and simply followed the advice of the system which said "updates available...etc". It would seem that I need to be more careful. So, does this imply that my system is all bu##ered up, and there is no way out? Not sure if it's possible to update the system now, from a live distro boot and a chroot.
