Even though I am just using it as a live cd at the moment and it's not on my hard drive yet, I am thoroughly impressed with Linux Mint. The Linux I had been using for years was having sound issues that I just couldn't get resolved--it would play cd's on the dvd drive but I had no sound with youtube and skype. And I am a youtube and skype junkie. While skype is not on the live cd of Linux Mint it is available for it. I downloaded the iso last night and burned it to a dvd so I have only had it going for a little while this morning but so far so good and I will probably wipe my hard drive and install this one. If you want to read more about it here is a link to The Linux Mint Blog.
