Setup JRiver Media Center 20 In Ubuntu/Linux Mint
Awesome Donkey:
I tested Linux Mint Debian Edition 2 with the Wheezy repository (Jessie won't work there), it works fine there now so I added it to the tutorial.

Hi again :),
I respectfully disagree to your following reply.

When I look at most of the "pay for" linux programs I have bought they usually come in three flavors, 1. deb files for debian, ubuntu and mint etc, 2. rpm files for fedora, red hat and centos etc and 3. a tar file used to compile from source for other distro's.
Examples of this would be "Softmaker Office, Notecase Pro and Code Weavers: Crossover Program. These are pretty complex programs and they seem to all run very well. You go to the site download and install using your software manager or for the lesser used distro's from source. This is how it should be. Your method is the kind of thing that detours from regular customers wanting to use your program. I'd be willing to bet if it was changed to the examples I have mentioned you would notice an increase in your sales. You could just post the 3 download links at your software home page.
Thanks

In this case, the dev team develops Media Center on Debian, so it makes sense to only support Debian (and unofficially support Debian-based distros like Ubuntu and Linux Mint). That said, you can get Media Center working on Fedora if you follow the guide in this forum section. Also you can use Alien to convert the .deb to a .rpm and it might work, not sure. As for a .tar release, this won't happen as Media Center isn't open source.

I re-installed Linux Mint Debian Edition 2 64-bit in a VM, and re-tested the AMD64 build... it works now but make sure you update LMDE 2 before installing MC, so I've edited the tutorial. :D
