Linux Mint 2.0 "Barbara"

Linux Mint aims to produce an elegant, up to date and comfortable GNU/Linux desktop based on Ubuntu. Linux Mint is like a customized version of Ubuntu. It uses the same repositories and the same packages. It follows the Ubuntu releases and innovations. Basically, it is 98% Ubuntu, with a few differences, notably the default inclusion of patented or proprietary technologies for an easy-to-use desktop out of the box. DesktopLinux looks at Linux Mint 2.0 "Barbara", based on Ubuntu 6.10.
