    Here we have a perfect-score review of Linux Mint 16 Petra 64-bit edition with the Cinnamon desktop, an Ubuntu-based distribution, covering live session, installation in a dual-boot configuration and post-install use, including look & feel, desklets, applets and other configurations, multimedia playback - Flash, MP3, HD video, Apple trailers (QuickTime, iTunes), network streaming, software management, updates, a rich arsenal of applications, helper tools and utilities, and third-party programs like Steam, Skype and Picasa, Driver Manager and Nvidia grapics setup, resource usage, stability, performance, suspend & resume, printing to Windows over Samba, final customization, other resources, not a single bug or problem, and more.

    What a score. Nice review.

    OT: I'd expected at least one Steam Early Access Entropy screenshot link :)
    Space, open sandbox, nice spaceship models...

    Okay I am running Linux Mint 16 (previously I ran LMDE) and I have to say it looks absolutely beautiful. Really well polished and a lot of little things make it really pleasant to interact with.
    I hope 17 LTS will look and behave exactly the same and that LMDE will be brought to the same level of completeness.
