My current full-time desktop is Ubuntu 13.04 running Mate ( also have
XFCE4, which was my standard before I installed Mate).
I decided to install 13.10 in a VM to test it out. I love to see what is
out there for the future. All I wanted to know is, is Mate available for
13.10 , if not, maybe when? Isn't 13.10 due out in October?
