Review of Linux Mint Bianca KDE Edition - Ubuntu derivative
With all the hype surrounding Ubuntu at the moment I think it's important not to overlook the other recent releases. One of these is Linux Mint Bianca: KDE Edition.
Linux Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu with a goal of providing a more complete out of the box experience by including browser plugins, media codecs, DVD playback support, Java and some other stuff too. It claims to be compatible with Ubuntu and it's software repositories so let's see what Mint is all about.
Out of the box?
I find it strange that Mint intends on offering a more complete out of the box solution than Ubuntu - from which this is based. While this has been more true in previous releases of Ubuntu (with things like EasyUbuntu used to increase immediate functionality), Feisty Fawn has shown itself to be more than capable on a fresh install... So already I'm doubting whether Mint has a worthwhile objective or not.
