Vandaag is de release candidate van Linux Mint Xfce uitgekomen, deze versie is net als de LMDE versie gebaseerd op Debian. Xfce zal ook dezelfde bronnen ( repositories ) als LMDE gebruiken.

This offers the following advantages to Linux Mint Xfce:

A huge performance boost
A continuous flow of updates which allows users to keep their system up to date without waiting for new releases
A more mainstream desktop and software selection
An easier maintenance for the team which makes it easier to release in both 32-bit and 64-bit with every LMDE release
