Linux Mint 9: Solid, Simple, Shiny (Linux.com)

Linux.com has a review of Linux Mint 9. "Linux Mint shares quite a bit with its upstream distro. Ubuntu is in turn based on Debian, which I suppose makes Mint sort of a grandchild to Debian. But it's not an Ubuntu clone. It has its own look and feel and several useful tools that the Mint community has developed on their own. Starting with the look and feel: Mint is very green. It also saves a bit of screen space by featuring only one GNOME panel and uses a menu similar to the "slab" layout that was developed by Novell for SUSE. It combines the system, places and applications menu into one."
