It's what I use on my and my girlfriend's laptop. I really just consider it Debian with all the annoying stuff done already. Like WiFi drivers, GUI, Sound. It integrates nicely with MATE (Since MATE was created for/by Mint). But under neath I just did a netselect-apt and found my nearest servers.
LMDE in brief Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) is a semi-rolling distribution based on Debian Testing. It’s available in both 32 and 64-bit as a live DVD with MATE or Cinnamon. The purpose of LMDE is to look identical to the main edition and to provide the same functionality while using Debian as a base.
And there is even a thread of guys who point it towards Unstable and it usually works fine. Plus you don't ever have to do a reinstall like you do with the Ubuntu based ones.
Plus my home server can now run apt-cache and everyone in the house gets the same packages.
Perhaps you also want to check up on your reading comprehension. Where did I say my 3 VW diesels were TDIs?
I had an '86 IDI which the engine hadn't been redesigned since the late 70s. Yet I never had to do any of this stuff. So in my 30+ year old IDI VW I have never once needed to mix Kero despite living in a place that regularly got into the teens F.
I also work for a large diesel engine manufacturer. I know my way around a diesel engine. We really don't do this.
> You'd mix kerosene into your diesel for low temperatures
No. Never done that.
> . In some vehicles this requires a special "arctic" or "cold weather" package, which pretty much consists of harder parts in the injection pump
Nope. I don't think VW sells that. The 'cold weather' package is for creature comforts. Seat heaters and such. The TDI sold in all of north america (and Europe) had the exact same pump.
> In general, you need a block heater for diesels in cold climates, and some kind of fuel additive. T
Wrong and wrong again. I have never needed a block heater or fuel additive. Now the coolant heater is nice because it means I get heat out of the vents as soon as I start the car. Otherwise it takes 10-20 miles before that happens.
> The fuel systems also have heaters in them,
Honestly where are you getting this stuff from? I work for a large diesel engine company AND I've driven a diesel for 10+ years. I've worked over every inch of my 3 VW diesels and not a single one has had a fuel system heater
Putting gas in isnt actually bad for the engine; it simply lacks the ability to achieve combustion via compression pressures usually found in automotive diesel motors.
This is flat out false. So far from the truth you could end up costing someone an engine.
1) Gasoline has nowhere near the lubrication properties of diesel. You're going to ruin one pump or another.
2) Diesel is more of a controlled burn where as gas is an explosion. You will ruin a piston or something.
3) Even the highest most premium gasoline will ignite at the compression ratios found on diesels. This isn't the issue.
4) In the industry that marine fuel is called HFO. And it's even thicker than crude. It's closer to the tar you put down when you put asphalt down.
I don't consider that a valid argument. Ask anyone who drives a manual the last time they thought about actually driving. It's not like washing dishes where I have to take time out of my day to actually do something (and by using a dishwasher you actually use less water per same amount of dishes).
Shifting is so second nature to me I don't even think about doing it. Sure there is a small learning period but it's like saying you have to remember to breathe or blink.
Are you fucking retarded? They're EVERYWHERE. I've driven a diesel for 10+ years. You have to have trouble finding a gas station period if you can't find one with a diesel pump. I've found one or two but they're rare. And I've driven my car coast to coast and had 0 problems getting fuel.
You notice those huge semis that go everywhere delivering stuff to stores? They run on diesel. Anywhere they go there will be diesel available.
My experience with random Android devices is it's hit or miss on rooting. If you have a good OEM (Asus has been good to me) then it's not a problem. But if you have ones that lock it down it's not any different than having an iPhone.
Although I wish someone would port apt-get to Android so we can install apps like you can with Cydia.
When Google Voice first opened up for invites I flooded the system with my own domain. And when those invites started coming in I sold them for $10-$50 on eBay.
Some people don't like to wait. Unless I CAN GET IT NOW. It doesn't exits.
They were apparently even progressive enough to allow cross dressing. That man on the left would have been lynched in parts of the US for dressing like that.
Our office building has one. In a big open box sound carries rather well. So you'd hear conversations between cubes. Toss in a few white noise generators, even on low, and suddenly it got 'quiet'.

LMDE. Linux Mint Debian Edition.
All of the pretty Mint stuff (cinnamon / MATE) but is compatible with debian testing.
much more geologically ... stable
Which West Coast are you talking about? The one with all the earth quakes?

So you're comparing one record to another record? That is in no way indicative of the actual temps/weather seen across the country.
And they're actually quieter when you're actually driving them because of the lower RPM.
> It's more likely older diesels that were unreliable, especially
Define 'old'. Because my '86 ran just fine. Even in the cold.
> You'd mix kerosene into your diesel for low temperatures
No. Never done that.

My old 1998 TDI accepts the bigger one. It's nice filling up in record time.

Please enlighten me to the weather we get in the US that they don't get in either Spain and Italy or Sweden, Norway & Finland.

AMD discontinued my motherboard's integrated Radeon chip a year after I bought it.
Meanwhile my GT220 from 5(?) years ago still runs the latest nVidia software and is powering my HTPC.
