The Awesome thing about it is that it comes pre loaded with Codecs

Linux Mint is an Ubuntu-based distribution whose goal is to provide a more complete out-of-the-box experience by including browser plugins, media codecs, support for DVD playback, Java and other components. It also adds a custom desktop and menus, several unique configuration tools, and a web-based package installation interface. Linux Mint is compatible with Ubuntu software repositories.

I see it uses the KDE interface. I'm happy with my ubuntu install and wouldn't use this unless it's for a friend who has no internet access.

Off topic I'm seriously considering going over to Suse again.

Dunno, change of scenery.

Actually it's just my way of keeping my mind off things that are important, and should start focusing on.

Celena (Version in screenshots) I think is based on 7.04 or 6.10. Latest version is based on 7.10
