This sequence of commands will install the Linux Mint 13 MATE desktop on Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal.
[flynn@flynn-grid-runner Desktop]$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://packages.mate-desktop.org/repo/ubuntu quantal main" [flynn@flynn-grid-runner Desktop]$ sudo apt-get update [flynn@flynn-grid-runner Desktop]$ sudo apt-get install mate-archive-keyring [flynn@flynn-grid-runner Desktop]$ sudo apt-get update [flynn@flynn-grid-runner Desktop]$ sudo apt-get install mate-core [flynn@flynn-grid-runner Desktop]$ sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment
This desktop as I have written before is an awesome replacement for the default Unity desktop and deserves to be your default desktop environment.
Read more here: http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download. I wish that Canonical would include the MATE desktop as a downloadable distribution of Ubuntu. They could call it Mubuntu. How about it?
I remixed ubuntu and created mateu
go to http://mateu.pt.vu
I couldn’t name it as mubuntu because Canonical has got *BUNTU copy rights
Awesome! Well that is good news, I have Ubuntu 10.10 on my netbook and I love the classic Gnome interface.
