LINUX: Linux Mint 16 "Petra" just released
Edvard:
Ah, I should have been more clear as well... I am running Debian "Testing", not Linux Mint. I used to be a Ubuntu fan, but it has gone downhill since 9.10, IMNSHO. I went back to Debian and I've gotten along with it so well that I intend to stay.
Though I will admit Mint looks pretty slick...

If I were running a server I'd be using Debian as well -- for non-server-related development, I've been finding Arch to be easier from the perspective of creating, installing, and uninstalling software cleanly.
I tend to use Mint via booting one of its isos, so it'd have been nicer not to have to apply an update after booting from the LMDE iso.

Wouldn't setting it up as a VM image be easier? That way, you could have a tweaked and updated clean image for software testing anytime you wanted.

When the machine in question is broken or I don't trust its content, booting from ISO seems like a better option -- also when it's someone else's PC...

Yup. That pretty much answered my question. Boot from media it is! ;D
