Relative new kid on the block, Linux Mint seems to be winning the favour of quite a lot of Ubuntu users, and it seems perilously close to kicking openSuse off the number 2 spot on distrowatch.
Based on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, this 'polished up' Ubuntu provides all the goodness you would expect from an Ubuntu distro and all the necessary tweaks that you have to do by hand in Ubuntu to make it a multimedia workhorse all done for you. This is appealling to Newbies and computer novices especially as it offers 'fire up and go' and removes those extra installation steps that you might otherwise have to get your local computer nerd / grandson to come around and show you what to do.
