I'm asking this on behalf of a friend. Thoughts on Mint, please. He's after an operating system that works on a usb stick and wants a 'bulletproof workstation not a server'. Does Mint have better firewall/security than Debian/Ubuntu? He is Puppy aware, by the way. If you have additional contributions on CrunchBang, lob them in too.
I'm using Mint quite happily. It works, it seems to do so more intuitively (IMO) than Debian. The only reservation I have is that it has a lot of (to me) useless guff attached, and takes an age to load, even on a relatively fast machine.
I await any info on Crunchbang with interest.
