Excerpt from DistroWatch:

“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.”

Why is LinuxMint a good alternative?

  • Its community driven…see something asked on the forums, you might see it on the next version
  • Comes with a friendly desktop, and menus

    • Where can I get LinuxMint?

    Get LinuxMint here.

    Is it free?

    Of course! Pretty soon I’ll probably right a tutorial on how to install and remove such distros.
