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."
