Publisher's Description
From Linux Mint Team:
Linux Mint is composed of many software packages, of which the vast majority are distributed under a free software license (also known as open source). The main license used is the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) which, along with the GNU Lesser General Public License (GNU LGPL), explicitly declares that users are free to run, copy, distribute, study, change, develop and improve the software. Linux Mint is funded by its community of users. Individual users and companies using the operating system act as donors, sponsors and partners of the distribution. The financial support from the community helps to keep Linux Mint free and open source, thereby allowing the project to focus on improving the operating system without engaging in commercial activities.
What's new in this version: Version 10.0 updated software and brings refinements and new features to make your desktop more comfortable to use.

3249823094809234 bugs
Resource eater
Crappy kernel

"Good to Learn an OS"
Version: Linux Mint 10.0
Pros
Fast, no nonsense easy to use. A great way to learn Linux and become an expert. You can't go wrong and once you learn what you need, it will make you look like an expert.
Cons
1. ATI drivers were difficult to install
2. Some websites are not compatible with linux versions of firefox
3. Flash is an issue in terms of its behavior on chrome
4. If you run into trouble, you are at the mercy of the community.Summary
Great alternative OS, works great and free.
Easy to Install
You can learn w/o messing up windows
Be prepared to learn and you will get better, if you want things to work and are not into computers then you should avoid linux based os especially if you have windows based applications for work such as Kareo.
