Download Linux Mint 16

Version 16 of Linux Mint has been released. Linux Mint is an Ubuntu-based distribution, which is available with two different desktop environments. The first uses EXTENT, which is based on the deprecated Gnome 2 code and is intended for older hardware, the other uses Cinnamon, which is based on Gnome 3, but feels like the ‘classic’ Gnome 2 environment. More information about version 16 of Linux Mint can be found in the release notes.
