Thanks for the MATE iso - I always use MATE as my DE so this is most welcome.

You're welcome.

Please forgive me if it's too minimal. Although I'm a minimalist, I know very little about desktop environments...and even less about MATE.

It is meant to be just a very minimal MATE desktop so a user can add what they want to it...including extra MATE and caja packages.

I hope it works well for you.
