| Feb 27, 2017 at 16:56 | comment | added | user364819 | @JohnScott: The problem with that is that where do you draw the line? People might argue for all sorts of different Ubuntu-based distros, even if the differences from the original Ubuntu are huge. But how many differences is too many? It's easier for us just to draw the line where we know what there is otherwise things could get very confusing. Another thing is that, Linux Mint may be similar now, but what about in future? | |
| Nov 29, 2014 at 16:32 | comment | added | John Scott | I think Linux Mint should be allowed. It uses the Ubuntu repos, so Linux Mint users are essentially running the same software with very similar configuration. The only difference is the included software. | |

| Dec 18, 2013 at 3:06 | comment | added | virtualxtc | So there's a way to tell of an official derivatives has the same set-up/version/packages? What about users using 3rd party repositories? how are they different? | |
