As of September, 2012 I am no longer using Mint because of some issues. I could not get Evolution to open links in Chrome. I could not get MSFONTS to work in Mint. This is just two of a number of small “paper cuts.” I finally went back to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It is good till April 2913. Then I may be forced to choose.
UPDATE: Review of Linux Mint 13 MATE Edition
