Providers who offer Linux Mint

Gerrard8 · December 2013

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.

Cheers

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

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.
