If you are expecting revolutionary or cutting edge: don't. Mint 11 uses Ubuntu as its base, but with classic Gnome 2.32 as the default desktop environment. It remains, in our view, the premier Linux for new users and migrants from the Redmond way of life. Call it conventional if you like, but it has polish and it's tried and tested.

I still think this one has the edge over the Ubuntu installer; coherent Mint branding starts here, as the installation steps through, quickly and solidly bringing you to a clean, attractive desktop. | I still think this one has the edge over the Ubuntu installer; coherent Mint branding starts here, as the installation steps through, quickly and solidly bringing you to a clean, attractive desktop. | ||

I still regard Software Manager as one of Mint's major selling points. Ever more polished, a splash screen appears when you launch it, and the main window has bigger category icons, with new categories for templates and fonts. | I still regard Software Manager as one of Mint's major selling points.

Searches now take in package summary descriptions as well as titles; this may take longer but gives more accurate search results. | + | It now shows even more icons and preview screen-shots.

Mint Update was always a strong selling point, categorizing updates according to criticality. It's now faster as change-logs are downloaded asynchronously in the background. The whole thing now has a more attractive graphical interface; for example, all Update dialogs are now modal, so you can't lose windows in a stack like you can in Ubuntu (which drives me crazy). After a successful update, the Update Manager hides itself, without parking a confirmation dialog on the screen. Warnings and information tabs now only appear for updates that need them. | Mint Update was always a strong selling point, categorizing updates according to criticality.
