Mint develops an independent user account manager |
 |
The Linux Mint team have published their monthly newsletter for January which includes a preview of the distribution's new user account management utility. "For some reason most Linux desktop environments have come up with their own tools for user administration and account details. It’s a pity because this is typically an area which belongs to distributions and which cannot be and certainly isn’t properly handled by desktops. As a result these tools lack support for a lot of new use cases and they’re not well maintained. In the next release, the Administration Tool (mintsysadm) will handle user administration and account details in editions where the desktop tools can be hidden." The newsletter provides additional details and covers other efforts by the Mint team.
