 Description   

It would be great if you could specify if these instructions apply to distro's like Linux Mint (as it is derived from Ubuntu I think). I have Linux Mint and am not sure whether I should be following:

Install MongoDB on Ubuntu
Install MongoDB on Ubuntu
Install MongoDB on Other Linux System

Thank You.

Also, the short answer is that unless you're on the specifically mentioned distros for each page, you should be following the "Other" documentation.

Maybe an update to the phrasing "Use this tutorial to install MongoDB on Ubuntu Linux systems from .deb packages." to explicitly mention derived distros. I don't think we should mention any specific distros unless we have internal or external reports of it working with our instructions and binaries.
