Linux Mint 18.1 + Neon User LTS

On the DVD

Paul C. Brown

This month, on our double-sided disk we have the latest version of the most popular Ubuntu derivative, Linux Mint, and the up-and-coming, KDE-backed neon.

On side A, you'll find the 64-bit version of Linux Mint, code named Serena, complete with the Cinnamon desktop and all the software available in the Ubuntu repositories.

Side B comes with the 64-bit version of neon User LTS, an Ubuntu-based distro decked out with a bleeding-edge KDE Plasma desktop and apps.

Double-Sided DVD

This DVD is a double-sided Live disc. You can try out the operating systems on the disc without installing anything on your computer. You can later install Mint or Neon from the Live desktop.

This DVD has a label on side A of the disc, so if you want to run Linux Mint, the side with the label should be facing up in the tray. If you want to use Neon, you should insert the DVD in the tray with the label side facing down.
