Some great news come from Mint camp this month. First, Mint has been ranked “Best Distro 2012″ by Linux Format! Then, Mint is proud to have in his side one of the most talented hackers, the just 13 years old Esteban -esteban1uy- who was announced as the developer of the month (in Mint).
Finally, Cinnamon towards version 1.6 is doing great and I think it is the perfect solution for the people that like a more traditional (than GS) environment yet modern and fancy.
