Hi Jacob,
Linux Mint is not supported by Debathena, as only Debian and Ububtu are
officially supported.
That said, if you are truly adventurous, you can try the manual
installation method, using the Ubuntu release closest to your Mint release
as the basis for your apt repositories. Note that you're on your own for
this method.

Hi Lizhou,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help with this. I did install debathena-standard and succes=
sfully implemented an automated sync of my Athena locker, but due to driver=
stability issues, I had to start anew with a Linux Mint installation. I am=
currently running the latest version
(18.2), which is much more stable on my system, but upon running the debat=
hena installation script I see that it is not supported. The message I rece=
ive is
<i>Unsupported release codename: sonya</i>.<br>
<br>
May I ask if you know roughly when Sonya will be supported? Or, would you r=
ecommend an alternative way to get debathena-standard installed on my syste=
m, if compatibility is not truly an issue at this time?<br>
<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Jacob<br>

Hi Jacob,<br>
<br>
We have not extensively tested stretch for debathena-workstation.<br>
<br>
If you are installing on your personal laptop, however, we strongly<br>
suggest installing debathena-standard, which gives you a local home<br>
directory, but also easy access to your Athena locker through /mit.<br>
Debathena-workstation is mostly intended for shared, public computers.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
