Linux Mint: The Most Trending Distro

Linux Mint is one of the most trending Linux/GNU distro recently. It has seen a huge increase in its fan following and is rising rapidly amongst other heavy weight distros like Fedora and Ubuntu. Started in 2006, Linux Mint is now the 4th most widely used home operating system behind Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS and Canonical's Ubuntu.

Linux Mint 12, Lisa


Linux Mint 12, code-named Lisa, is the latest version of this distro. Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu which itself is based on Debian. Just like Ubuntu, Mint also uses .deb packages. It has a wonderful software centre, synaptic package manager and is free of almost all the bugs that creep into an Ubuntu system.

You can download the latest version of Linux Mint from their download page. It has Gnome 3 and MATE desktop environments by default. KDE and LXDE variants of the same also available for download. So download Lisa and give it a try, and I am sure you'll fall in love with it!
