“If you currently use another edition of Linux Mint 12, like
Linux Mint 12 KDE or Linux Mint 12 GNOME, you will find that there
is very little difference, if any, in functionality between this
LXDE edition and those other more popular editions, other than for
some LXDE-specific applications.“However, if you are new to Linux Mint, this brief review will
take you through some of the features of this user-friendly desktop
distribution. For starters, it is available as an installable Live
CD ISO image. The installer sports a point-and-click interface,
same as on other Linux Mint editions, with the minimum set of
features that you need to install the system. Do not expect to be
able to install the system on a Linux Logical Volume Manager file
system or with full disk encryption configured. Those features are
not supported. You do have the option of encrypting your home
folder, but not if it is on a separate partition. “
