Distribution Linux Mint 17.2 with a graphical environment Xfce and KDE got updated to version 17.3 Rosa. This is the last version before going to the branch 18, which will be based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and later. It is important to note that the system is updated only if something does not work or does not function properly. In all other cases it is necessary to adhere to the rules of the system administrator and creator of Linux Mint Klemet Lefebvre: If it is not broke, don't fix it.
The reason is simple - security update will be coming to Linux Mint 17, 17.1, 17.2 and 17.3 by 2019. It should be a little explanation. As mentioned above, Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu (although there is a version on Debian), and increase the version number occurs only when the new LTS appear. Thus, based on 16.04 Mint 18 will be created, and 19 Mint - based LTS 18.10. All intermediate versions with nine-cycle update receive mode number 18.1, 19.1 and so forth.
It is important to note that the Linux Mint 17.3 received a newer version of the kernel Linux. Install kernel can be recommended from the Update Manager after upgrading to the latest version. Related Products :
