Linux Mint 7 for 64-bit processor machines, the final and stable version has finally been released and is available for download to users from all over the world that want to make good use of a feature-rich, open-source operating system. The release of Linux Mint 7 x64 comes after the release of Linux Mint 7 x64 RC1 at the start of the month, and Linux Mint 7 final for 32-bit processor machines late this May.

Lead Developer of Linux Mint, Clem Lefebvre, comments: “The team is proud to announce the release of Linux Mint 7 “Gloria” x64.

It comes with all the improvements featured in Linux Mint 7 Gloria Main Edition. To upgrade to Linux Mint 7 x64 from Linux Mint 7 x64 RC1, launch mintUpdate, enable the “dist-upgrade” option in the preferences window and refresh the list of upgrades.
