Linux Mint 10 RC released

[Centaur]

Yippie. The real one is almost here.
Well Linux Mint 10 RC "Julia" (lol) is here. Looks nice. However, I prefer the new theme of Ubuntu 10.10 more than the new theme of Mint 10 (which still looks great, but too silver for my taste )

New features at a glance:

* Welcome screen
o Install codecs and upgrade to the DVD edition from the welcome screen
* Menu
o Highlights newly installed applications
o Finds and installs software from the repositories
o Search engines
o GTK bookmarks support
o GTK themes support
* Software manager
o Application icons
o Better categorization
* Update manager
o Ignore updates
o Download size
* Upload manager
o UI, speed, ETA
o Connection test
o Cancel / Run in background
* New look and feel
* System improvements

Thanks....
Busy downloading

And here is an answer to the question i was about to ask

Will I be able to upgrade from Mint 10 RC to Mint 10 stable without reinstalling?

Yes, simply apply any level 1 and 2 updates that appear in the Update Manager.
