Linux Mint is an Ubuntu-based distribution whose goal is to provide a more complete out-of-the-box experience by including browser plugins, media codecs, support for DVD playback, Java and other components. It also adds a custom desktop and menus, several unique configuration tools, and a web-based package installation interface. Linux Mint is compatible with Ubuntu software repositories.
Works like a train on my Acer Aspire One netbook after adding more RAM and replacing hdd by a faster type (7200 iso 5400). In fact Linux Mint replaces Windows XP. I'm very glad I did it.
