Why plug mint? Was: Re: Urgent. How to get Kompozer or alternative for Kubuntu 12.10???!!!

[Clay Weber]

Why? I can see why mint is a viable alternative for gnome or unity users, but as a KDE distro, what does Mint's KDE offer over Kubuntu?

I was unaware of this...I'll check it out.

Yes, except for a couple of Debian-based versions, most of the Mint distributions are based on Ubuntu 12.04.  I was just mentioning it as a source for the program in case it was needed.  I suspect going back to Ubuntu 12.04 won't solve the immediate problem of locating Kompozer in the Ubuntu depositories.  

Making a switch to Mint might be an option worth exploring.
