From Linux Mint's About page: "Linux Mint's purpose is to produce an elegant, up to date and comfortable GNU/Linux desktop distribution." To reach this goal, lead developer and founder Clement Lefebvre used (surprisingly) Ubuntu as the base, and added multimedia codecs to the distribution, by default. Later on, Mint deviated more from Ubuntu by adding its own artwork, web-based package front-end, and configuration tools (MintTools) to the mix. I installed the latest stable release, Daryna (4.0), released on 15 October of last year, to see what's what.

That is the one I am using right now.
Very nice. I am looking forward to a Linux Mint release with KDE 4 ... perhaps towards the end of this year.
If I can have KDE 4.1 with Tasty Menu ... it should be the best option of all.
