0 Linux Mint 17 Qiana all versions

 

Clement Lefebvre's release note states of significant improvement in functionality of the distro, namely: "The team is proud to announce the release of Linux Mint 17 'Qiana'. Linux Mint 17 is a long-term support release which will be supported until 2019. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop even more comfortable to use.  

Further, this release assumes significance because of the changed LTS strategy, as updated in the release note:

• Linux Mint 17 will receive security updates until 2019.
• Until 2016, future versions of Linux Mint will use the same package base as Linux Mint 17, making it trivial for people to upgrade.
• Until 2016, the development team won't start working on a new base and will be fully focused on this one.
