Mint 14 (mate) 已經end-of-life, 2個月前更新了工作用的電腦. 現在留下一個記錄.
如果沒有太多customization, 其實直接安裝mint 17 再copy home directory back 比較方便.

過程中會有問題要回答, Yes 就可以
例如 “install the package maintainer’s version”? <<– Yes
“Restart service during package upgrades without asking?” <<– Yes
有些package 會有問題, 例如

可以install lightdm 代替mdm $ sudo apt-get install lightdm 最後找到原因, 不用install lightdm. 其實係default option: last session 唔得, 要改用MATE.
Step 5: verify
