From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

All the nice bells and whistles that mint comes with: mostly cinnamon and the upgrade manager out-of-the-box. I've been using it for a few months, and I prefer it over stock debian and normal mint.
I normally run debian but I ran LMDE for a couple years and thought it was nice.
This I really like Debian but on my everyday "production" system I run LMDE. I still have Debian in all it's glory but also all those small extra convince features and we'll thought out defaults.
oh nice, maybe ill give it a shot.
