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.
