So you choose based on artwork? It is a life saver for non-internet users and the like. It is upto Clem to use what pleases his eye because it is his distro.
And a 64bit one is in the pipeline IIRC.

Not exactly "better". It's "more" than just Ubuntu 8.10.

Re: Linux Mint 6 released!
I don't know, Gloria, Georgia... I like Gloria.
There was(is) a big discussion on the same, can't find that thread now, you may try, though I'm sure Clem must have finalized on it long back.

Re: Linux Mint 6 released!
Thanks for the update. After using Dreamlinux's XFCE edition, I'm now very confused of choosing the right DE for me. I like GNOME and KDE, but I don't like KDE for its bugs :-/ Mint seems to have a look and feel of XFCE very similar to GNOME. Soooo..... confusing. I don't intend to use fluxbox. Still thinking as to which to download. I think I'll wait till all the community editions are released for 6 and then see if there are any noticeable change in the UI of the DEs.

Re: Linux Mint 6 released!
Freaking sick, this is the best live distro ever. I just put it onto an USB stick as Live, and it rocks the socks off, only thing to figure is to make it persistent. Everything works out of the box, no issues whatsoever. A neat OS to carry in the pockets.

It's not exactly can be called portable, but it can be carried off in a pen drive.
If you compare Ubuntu and Mint, then Mint is more aesthetically pleasing and also plays mp3 out of box.

Re: Linux Mint 6 released!
Did not like Elissa too much. Looks horrible, comes with too few things in the box, and lacks libraries. Have to see how Felicia looks. They dont live up to "with freedom comes elegance" or whatever they claim.
In the middle of playing with OpenSUSE 11.1. Looks great - better than Elissa at least, there are some heavy improvements in KDE 4.1.
