LinuxMint是一份基于Ubuntu的发行，其目标是提供一份更完整意义上的即刻可用的体验，而这通过包含浏览器插件、多媒体编码解码器、DVD播放支持、Java及其他组件来实现。它也增加了一套定制桌面及各种菜单，一些独特的配置工具，以及一份基于web的软件包安装界面。LinuxMint兼容Ubuntu软件仓库。

Clement Lefebvre has announced the release of Linux Mint 6 "KDE" edition: "Onbehalf of the team I am thrilled to announce the release of Linux Mint6 KDE. Based on Kubuntu 8.10 'Intrepid Ibex', Linux kernel 2.6.27, KDE4.2.0 and X.Org 7.4, Linux Mint 6 'Felicia' KDE Community edition comeswith a brand new software manager, FTP support in mintUpload, proxysupport and history of updates in mintUpdate, mint4win (a Linux Mintinstaller for Microsoft Windows), and a lot of other improvements.Linux Mint now uses its own LSB information and no longer identifiesitself to applications as Ubuntu. This can potentially breakcompatibility with some third-party tools. Meta packages wereintroduced within the repositories to reflect the default selection ofpackages for the various Linux Mint editions. The artwork now alsocomes as a package." See the release announcement and release notes for more details. Download (MD5): LinuxMint-6-KDE.iso (1,107MB, torrent).
