Linux Mint

[mEtRiX]

Linux Mint is one of the surprise packages of the past year. Originally launched as a variant of Ubuntu with integrated media codecs, it has now developed into one of the most user-friendly distributions on the market - complete with a custom desktop and menus, several unique configuration tools, a web-based package installation interface, and a number of different editions. Perhaps most importantly, this is one project where the developers and users are in constant interaction, resulting in dramatic, user-driven improvements with every new release. DistroWatch has spoken to the founder and lead developer of Linux Mint, Clement Lefebvre, about the history of the distribution.

Looks good. But Linux is weird. It has soooooooooo many distros which makes it hard for newbies to decide which one should they try first.

I agree. It looks very nice but I think I will stick with Ubuntu until I know what I'm doing.

I have found that Ubuntu is slower. I can't watch any of my HDDVD compressed rips because it stutters too much. But they play very well in Vista.
