Are there any Mint users here that can tell me what differentiates this release from, say, Ubuntu and Debian beside having a different theme for the GUI and a different application menu?

Mint is based on Debian like Ubuntu and has some nicer integration of non-free hardware and is cleaner. One item that turned me off is that Mint adds a "search engine optimizer" to Firefox that generates ad revenue to fund the project.

I, too, found the Linux Mint start-page for Google searches in Firefox to be annoying. Fortunately, I could change that behavior, did did. Not that I'm against Clem funding this project! So, I donate regularly to Linux Mint, via PayPal.
