What if Linux Mint used Debian?

You could find out for yourself by downloading it and testing the Live CD. 
I am downloading it as I write. The tough thing is that there’s no torrent available 
I’d have to leave the computer on for 8 hours or so just to get this.
As they’ve quoted on Distrowatch.com:
“We ported our desktop on top of Debian Testing and the result is very interesting. This Alpha release comes as a non-installable liveCD and gives an idea of how Linux Mint would behave if it was to switch base and adopt Debian as its supporting technology.”
I can’t wait to try it out 
Download links are here.
