Linux Mint是一份基于Ubuntu的发行，其目标是提供一份更完整意义上的即刻可用的体验，而这通过包含浏览器插件、多媒体编码解码器、DVD播放支持、 Java及其他组件来实现。它也增加了一套定制桌面及各种菜单，一些独特的配置工具，以及一份基于web的软件包安装界面。Linux Mint兼容Ubuntu软件仓库。
The first release candidate (marked as BETA 025) for Linux Mint 5 "Elyssa" XFCE Community Edition is out and available for download: "This is the first BETA release of the XFCE Community Edition for Linux Mint 5, codename Elyssa, based on Daryna and compatible with Ubuntu Hardy and its repositories. All mint applications were improved in Elyssa. For the list improvements of mintUpdate, mintUpload and mintInstall, read the Elyssa Main release notes... mintUpdate was refactored and its memory usage was drastically reduced. On some systems the amount of RAM used by mintUpdate after a few days went from 100MB to 6MB. Mozilla also greatly improved the memory usage in Firefox between version 2 and 3. Elyssa comes with kernel version 2.6.24 which features a brand new scheduler called CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler). The kernel scheduler is responsible for the CPU time allocated to each process. With CFS the rules have changed." Read the full release notes and the brief release announcement for further information. Download: LinuxMint-5-XFCE-BETA-025.iso (682MB, MD5).
