Is Rebecca what I downloaded as "linuxmint-17-mate-64bit-v2.iso"??

Why it is not and what it is instead: xenopeek on "updates to the ISO"

Re: Linux Mint 17.1 codenamed 'Rebecca'
Can someone explain this or point me in the right direction please.......
mint 17 lts came out in spring, in the past the next release would have been mint 18 towards november time, then 19 next spring and so on... like ubuntu would go 14:04 - 14:10 - 15:04 - 15:10 and so on..... so instead of mint 18 the next release will be 17.1 and the next lts in a few years time will be mint 18? is that how it will now work, that the lts releases will be will be 18 - 19 - 20 and the distros in between will be .1 -.2 -.3 and so on?

Re: Linux Mint 17.1 codenamed 'Rebecca'
Yes your understanding is right (same as mine, at least ), no upgrades to the base packages till next LTS. Some announcement links on this earlier -
http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2613http://linuxmint.com/rel_qiana_cinnamon ... ew.php#lts
Linux Mint 17 will receive security updates until 2019.
Until 2016, future versions of Linux Mint will use the same package base as Linux Mint 17, making it trivial for people to upgrade.
Until 2016, the development team won't start working on a new base and will be fully focused on this one.
The decision was made to stick to LTS bases. In other words the development team will be focused on the very same package base used by Linux Mint 17 for the next 2 years. It will also be trivial to upgrade from version 17 to 17.1, then 17.2 and so on. Important applications will be backported and we expect this change to boost the pace of our development and reduce the amount of regressions in each new Linux Mint release. This makes Linux Mint 17.x very important to us, not just yet another release, but one that will receive security updates until 2019, one that will receive backports and new features until 2016 and even more importantly, the only package base besides LMDE which we’ll be focused on until 2016.

Thank you, just wanted to make sure I understood it properly.

Hi guys,
do you know if kernel 3.17 will be available in Mint 17.1 Rebecca ?
Thanks.

Hello, Dupo.
Not sure whether the final decision has been made. Here is a hint on Clem's point of view in the middle of September:

We tend to be even more conservative than them though when it comes to defaults and what we recommend to users. With that said we can already make these newer kernels available if there is demand out there. We developed a kernel selection screen in the update manager in 17.0, and it got much improved in 17.1. Thanks to that we can give you more choice of kernels, along with information on known regressions and bug fixes. We rely heavily on feedback here, especially when it comes to the kernel, but we can definitely be conservative, bet on what we know works, while at the same time give you additional choices.

Hi,
Therefore, I asked this question
some Mint users have device that they can't use because their device is supported from the kernel 3.17 (example: sound card).karlchen wrote:Hello, Dupo.

Re: Linux Mint 17.1 codenamed 'Rebecca'
Hello, Dupo.
If I do not misunderstand Clem, then Mint 17.1 will not install kernel 3.16 or 3.17 by default, but you will be able to install it from inside mintUpdate. I cannot tell whether this will be true for 3.16 only or for 3.17, too.
Kind regards,
Karl

Re: Linux Mint 17.1 codenamed 'Rebecca'
There are no kernels newer than 3.13 in Ubuntu 14.04 repos, so there's simply no reliable source to get them into Mint 17.
(No, various PPAs are not a reliable source, and Ubuntu 14.10 repos aren't either.)

Is this source reliable enough?

Currently using kernel 3.15.5 (yes, there was a reason).

There is already a linux distro named "Rebecca Black." Named after an American pop singer and dancer who gained extensive media attention with the 2011 single "Friday".
