In 2008, Linux Mint adopted the same release cycle as Ubuntu and dropped its minor version number before releasing version 5 'Elyssa'. This made the two systems' bases almost identical, guaranteeing full compatibility between them, rather than requiring Mint to be a fork. It then followed its own codebase, building each release from the previous one, but continuing to use the package repositories of the latest Ubuntu release.
Linux Mint 2.0 was based on Ubuntu 6.10, using Ubuntu's package repositories and using it as a codebase. It had few users until the release of Linux Mint 3.0, 'Cassandra'.
Linux Mint 2.0 'Barbara' was the first version to use Ubuntu as its codebase. Linux Mint began in 2006 with a beta release, 1.0, code-named 'Ada', based on Kubuntu.
