Minty Fresh KDE and LXDE: Linux Mint LXDE and KDE 10 (Linux.com)
Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier reviews
the release candidates of two Linux Mint 10 editions. "The biggest
difference for Mint vs. Kubuntu is that the KDE edition comes with KDE
4.6. Since Kubuntu 10.10 shipped before 4.6 was ready, the release came
with a 4.5 series release. Note that you can get 4.6 via a Personal Package
Archive (PPA) for Kubuntu, though. At any rate, it's nice to see Mint
shipping with the very latest KDE. And I do like what they've done with
KDE. The theme is nice and easy on the eyes, and the selection of
applications is spot on - though I wish they'd shipped Firefox 4 beta and
LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice.org."

Kubuntu with KDE 4.6 from the ppa has a few issues caused by KDE solid avoiding the intermediation of hal and going down to udev.
- device actions are broken for audio CDs
Bugs reported to kde get answered with the indication that it is a distro integration problem, not a kde problem.
Does anybody know if this the case also for mint?
