“This version is exactly like the main edition of Linux Mint 8
but compiled for 64-bit processors, such as Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel
Core 2 Quad or Athlon X2 64. Dubbed Helena, the new Linux Mint 8
operating system is based on the Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)
operating system and it is powered by Linux kernel 2.6.31, X.Org
7.4 and the GNOME 2.28.1 desktop environment. Linux Mint 8 (Helena)
comes with a brand-new theme and wallpaper, lots of updated
applications and some interesting, new features for all its
fans!”
