Verified. Installs Sublime Text cleanly on LMDE Cinnamon.
Article introducing the PPA:
http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/sublime-text-2-ubuntu-ppa.html
This does not work on LMDE. The PPA has the wrong paths because they are for Ubuntu, not Debian. Here is the error that returns on apt-get update:
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/sublime-text-2/ubuntu/dists/debian/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
It's probably fixable if I find the right files to edit, but as it stands, this does not work on Linux Mint Debian.
You can install this on LMDE using this method with a minor change.
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-sublime-text-2-debian.list
change all references of debian to precise
Proceed as normal.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sublime-text
You could use any other Ubuntu flavor there i think, however i seem to remember that i had issues with dependencies on everything newer than precise.
Weird. It didn't give me any lip at all about that...
In fact my copy of LMDE Cinnamon used this exact sequence to install, and there is not even a file named: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-sublime-text-2-debian.list
I'll install a fresh copy and investigate. Also, I'll look into replacing the nano with a grep command so its more automated.
EDIT: Moreover, why are we changing it to references of precise? LMDE is Debian based, and forcing it to reference ubuntu wouldn't be in our best interest.
