As we suspected Clem has confirmed that the next three releases of Mint will be based on the LTS and not the six month releases as in the past. t\They will be focusing on improving Cinnamon and LMDE instead. So it will be LTS only with some updates and backports in between. This is not a bad thing and I suspect that they may be moving away from Ubuntu altogether soon as this puts further distance between the two and GNOME 3 on which Cinnamon is based is supporting Wayland and Ubuntu is going with Mir as soon as next release. Also the focus on LMDE has significance, IMO, because they have never said that before.

I'm trying Mint Mate 16 and saw mention of the new 17 RC on Distrowatch.com, so I thought I'd share some news regarding drivers and lack of wired connection...

"When offline, the Driver Manager asks you to plug in the installation medium and proceeds to mount it as a temporary package repository.
It's now much easier for instance to install Linux Mint on laptops equipped with Broadcom wireless chipsets, and you no longer need an an ethernet cable."
