I love Mint because it really is the best option for new users, however, they seem to be a bit of control freaks. I posted a comment on their latest blog to ask if they could include their data about the number of downloads per month, since they installed a tracker on their site in March. They only included the numbers of the first month, and then nothing. I simply suggested that they could have that data as part of their monthly blog update. They deleted my comment. Sometimes they give me vibes of Gnome’s non-transparency, or at the very least, control freakiness.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
