What is the latest version of Linux Mint?

Answer 1

There is no one "current Linux operating system" due to the fact that Linux is developed and distributed in various forms by many different individuals and corporations. The current version of Linux depends on which of these "distributions" you are interested in installing.

For example, a popular distribution of Linux tailored for use as a Desktop system is Ubuntu (www.ubuntu.com), which is distributed by the company Canonical. The current release of Ubuntu is 8.04, which was released in April this year.

There are literally hundreds of distributions freely available online, but other distributions which are of note in the desktop arena include Fedora (www.fedoraproject.org), openSUSE (www.opensuse.org) and Debian (www.debian.org), each of which have their own advantages and disadvantages. Each distribution has its own release schedule, but you can find out what the current version is (and download it) from the official websites.

Answer 2

for the lastest version of Linux... go look at... Mint Linux.. Mint Linux cames with 2 difference sources (ubuntu and debain sources) and came together in your Mint OS.... go check out at Ubuntu and Debian Debian is rock soild Linux OS but updates comes once a while.. but Ubuntu is step child of Debian and is not afraid to go out and get lot of lastest version of softwares, kernels, etc.. so here born the Mint Linux.. the sister of Ubuntu. she has it all.. she see what she gets, she know what she gets from her Linux Deb family.. so I would recommend Mint Linux 8 and there is mint Linux 9 coming up.. with just few of new releases.. most has not change a bit.. because Mint Linux has impoved alot in past years...

I hope I help with these answer you ask for.. you get edgy cutting graphic OS with lot of compiz, emerald themes, all that.. even though it still based on UNIX and LINUX itself.. with plenty of terminal commands, not much people use it.. lot of people use MINT LINUX's graphic gnu known as GNOME... you can do as much you can with MINT LINUX.. add lot of restriction stuff, then you are good to go, copy restricted dvds, read adobe pdfs, listen to youtubes, etc all that.. unless you want go for Redhat OS there is Fedora 12, but I have been in that road.. I like independent OS.. Mint Linux is the one as independent OS and I can run Microsoft window software in my OS, use my teamview go to their xp, or vista.. not a problem.. Mint Linux......
