Hi I am quite liking Xubuntu at the mo, but I do have a habit of flitting from distro to distro.
Ive been looking at Mint Linux and it looks great, a streamlined and polished Ubuntu.
Is it just a fancy looking Ubuntu? Is it a cut down or lightweight version? Would it run better than Xubuntu?

I had noticed that Mint is one of the distros on the latest Linux Format CD, and wondered about it. Now that you ask about it, I've had a look at the Mint website: http://www.linuxmint.com
I'm disappointed to find that (as far as I can see) there is no listing whatever of the different packages that may be available for Linux Mint.
What development/compilation packages are there? C? C++? FORTRAN? What's available on the scientific/mathematical front? Can you install TeX/LaTeX? Etc.
