Providers who offer Linux Mint

Gerrard8

I've been looking at linux mint after seeing a few good reviews about it and wanted to test it out on a VPS.

Does anyone know any providers who offer it as part of their templates? If not I will order a KVM and install it via the ISO.

I think its not that good for server purpose, more for desktop machines, is it?

Download the iso and install in local vm.

Linux Mint 15 is a mod version of Ubuntu 13.04 uses same packages, has access to Ubuntu repositories also has it's own project's repositories,

provide a number of restricted, non-free codecs as well as a number of applications developed by the Linux Mint team,

Linux Mint also provides its own Cinnamon desktop shell, built atop some GNOME 3 components (albeit with its own, forked window manager and file browser) and designed to offer users a stylish, but somewhat classical desktop experience that is more in line with GNOME 2's aesthetics than those of its successor.

one of the sources for the above: http://www.h-online.com/open/features/Linux-Mint-15-A-better-Ubuntu-for-the-desktop-1873682.html

Just a friendly reminder; it is considered good practice to always supply the source of the article/essay/review of whom you've copied and pasted content from.

You can run Linux Mint on KVM or Xen HVM VPSes using an ISO image. I am not aware of any templates for Linux Mint though.
