[lug] Linux Mint 13 - Now Available

Linux Mint 13 is out.

I did my first install of it today and I really like it.  It's based on
Ubuntu 12.04 but ditches the Unity interface for it's own 'Cinnamon'
interface that blends Gnome3 and some original work.

I'm sticking with Fedora at home for a variety of reasons (full
commitment to Gnome, my comfort with yum/rpm, and a desire to have close
to bleeding edge KVM virtualization) but for friends who love Debian I'm
recommending Linux Mint.  It's really beautiful to look at with a
tremendous amount of polish and presentation.  And of course, all the
usual stuff from any quality Linux distribution is present, but it's the
desktop innovation you'll notice first and what'll really impact your
daily use of it.

I loaded it on a 5 year old, single socket dual core AMD Opteron
workstation with only 2G of RAM and an old 3D video card.  Anything
moderately current should run LM13 really well.

Enjoy!
