Peppermint Five was officially released on June 23 and is another in the long list of distros that are based on the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
While Linux Mint is known for its Cinnamon desktop, Peppermint uses something that is significantly more lightweight with a default desktop that is based LXDE. This is a distro that has been consistently releasing updates on a decent cadence since at least 2010, when Peppermint 1.0 was first released.
