Long-Term Review: Linux Mint 13 LTS "Maya" Xfce

The installation process is standard for Ubuntu and its derivatives. There are only two minor complaints that I have.
Interestingly, the boot menu no longer appears to be themed. GRUB only shows plain white text on a plain dark gray background; I don't know if this is now standard for Linux Mint or if it is an artifact of GRUB as installed by Kubuntu previously.
