Linux Mint 3.0 is out!

Linux Mint 3.0 "Cassandra" was just released...the ISO files are uploaded and ready to download.

For release notes, check:

*www.linuxmint.com/

Awesome user-friendly Ubuntu based distro for the downloading!!

Never used it, is it good enough?

it by default carries many proprietary plugins unlike Ubuntu and other distros.

Its Ubuntu plus media codecs plus a lot of other noob friendly software including mintDisk (ntfs-3g driver functionality out of the box), mintInstall (Click 'n' Run style software management package in addition to the Synaptic and apt-get package managers) and many other features.

Other than that, its Ubuntu...and the eyecandy out of the box is pretty funky!

it's getting a little deep now eh?

Linux mint is awesome. Have been using it since 2.0. Is extremely noob friendly. It is so noob friendly that i am still a noob after such a long time

anyone tried ubuntustudio? its good as well. includes many proprietory codecs by default!!!

i'll download and try mint 3.0 once the kde edition is out.... looks cool!

Will download and see, Ubuntu failed in many cases despite of installing all the codecs

@ IR Dude. Can u tell me features of Ubuntu Studio... I'm new to linux

Ubuntu Studio is mainly for Multimedia Professionals n for home users(much more fitted as it doesn't hv advanced tools) for multimedia editing , etc

yeah, includes the commonly used codecs, audio/video then midi software, digital audio editing softwre, mixing, basic video editing etc.

Hmmm.... Will try both

Never heard of it, will check it out.
