[ubuntu-za] Linux Mint

[Denham Coote]

I installed it on my girlfriend's laptop.

It's a nicely polished distro.  Looks decent, has full multimedia support
from the start (mp3, dvd, etc).  It recognised her wireless device right
away.

It has its own package management/updater.  I'm not sure I see it as been
too much more friendly than Ubuntu's defaully, though.

I'm sticking to Ubuntu, but it's a nice option for people who want to do a
little less customisation.
