Linux Mint 15 Review:

Brought to you by: System76

• 8 Month support cycle or so (depends on release). Mint releases not built off Ubuntu LTS will be subject to the shorter support window non-LTS Ubuntu releases now have.

• No upgrade path from Mint 14, or to Mint 16 in the future.

• MATE and Cinnamon are at their best, current releases really starting to shine.

• Tools built by the Mint team are top rate, and fill holes missing on Ubuntu.
