You know, I read this thread about mint as I burn 11.10 to install on 
new disks, and thought to grab Mint and give it a go, especially with 
fussless gnome3 supposedly.  Then I remembered, I always need an ubuntu 
alt install to do raid/luks/lvm stuff, and found they don't have an 
equivalent.  Unfortunately it somewhat obsoletes them, at least for me.

For those that don't mind lack of redundancy or disk encryption, game on 
for Mint.  I'll just have to gut Unity on Oneric, but have all the 
goodies baked into ubuntu...
