Hello to all the Linux Mint fans, I am happy to join you. I am new to Linux Mint but I have used other Linux distributions. Installed Mint 13 Mate and it's up and running fine. Had a few self induce problems with the install because I was trying to use Nvidia drivers from the repositories instead of the proprietary one from Nvidia, once I got that straightened out every thing went OK. Mate is very good, almost the same as the older version of Gnome I have been using with Ubuntu 10.04 so I have had no problems with it.
