Linux Mint 12 – LXDE Edition – 32-bit CD

All the power and user-friendliness of Mint, with a lightweight and simple user interface.

Perhaps the most widely-used Linux distribution today, Mint has a powerful and elegant interface, stable core, and is incredibly easy-to-use. It is immune to almost all viruses and malware and provides regular updates and patches.

This version of Mint utilizes the lightweight-but-powerful LXDE desktop manager, which runs with less memory and less overhead, and thus is faster and more responsive. It does not, however, sacrifice any of its good looks.

Features

• Works out of the box, with full multimedia support and is extremely easy to use.
• Community-driven. Users are encouraged to send feedback to the project so that their ideas can be used to improve Linux Mint.
• Based on Debian and Ubuntu, it provides about 30,000 packages and one of the best software managers.
• Safe and reliable. Thanks to a conservative approach to software updates, a unique Update Manager and the robustness of its Linux architecture, Linux Mint requires very little maintenance (no regressions, no antivirus, no anti-spyware…etc).
