There are a few differences however:

Linux Mint is a linux distribution based on Ubuntu but with a custom desktop and menus, several unique configuration tools, a web-based package installation interface, and a number of different editions. They try to provide an elegant Linux desktop, with a lively community and user interaction. I’ve been using Linux Mint 5 Elyssa since the release candidates, and it’s by far my top choice if you’re looking for a GNOME-based distribution. So download the .iso, burn it and give it a try!
