Business critical Desktop - MATE 1.4 Upgrade

Since we are not interested in virusses in our call center where we do outsourcing for our UK, US and australia clients we mostly use Linux Mint. Since we always stay on top of our game we now upgraded to Linux Mint Mate 1.4 Desktop This is to show you how it is done! Remember releases do not give you automated option to upgrade MATE 1.2 forr this you need to edit the following:

ONE of the following repos to /etc/apt/sources.list via the following command:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://packages.mate-desktop.org/repo/ubuntu precise main"

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://repo.mate-desktop.org/ubuntu precise main"

Then Also edit
the /etc/apt/preferences 

 Package: *
 Pin: release o=linuxmint Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release o=Ubuntu Pin-Priority: 500

Package: *
Pin: origin packages.mate-desktop.org Pin-Priority: 700 

We somehow have to select all packages... Then click apply
