Linux Mint isn&#8217;t new anymore, but it isn&#8217;t as established as other distributions yet and de facto not considered a &#8220;major&#8221; within the Linux community even though the size of its user base can in times be as much as two to three times larger than the ones of projects like SUSE, Fedora or Mandriva.<\/li>\n<li>The Overall income is up 29%, and June 2009 was the (4th consecutive) best month ever since the start of the distribution.<\/li>\n<li>In brief: Finances have never been so good, Linux Mint sits in a very comfortable position on the Linux home desktop market second only to Ubuntu, its user base continues to grow but the distribution needs to engage in marketing, ads and\/or promotion campaigns to get the attention of the medias. Now that Linux Mint is known to most Linux users and that it gathers the second biggest share on the market, it needs to get itself known to others and to compete with other desktops such as Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donations &amp; Sponsorships: Many thanks to the following donors and sponsors for financially supporting Linux Mint: Donors: $116, Oscar T.
