Linux Mint

Linux Mint is a computer operating system based on the Linux distribution Ubuntu. Linux Mint adds many features that Ubuntu does not have such as providing a more complete out-of-the-box experience by including proprietary software including Java and the Adobe Flash web browser plugin, which are not installed by default in most Linux distributions. Due to issues with licensing, proprietary drivers for hardware such as wireless cards are not included by default, though they can be downloaded for free after installation.

Linux Mint introduced its first release, named "Ada", in 2006. Its latest and 14th release is "Nadia". The names of the releases are in alphabetical order (1 is Ada, 2 is Barbara, 3 is Cassandra, etc.)
