"9. Linux Mint Creates Debian Derivative
Linux Mint has really come into its own this year as a project. What started as a fairly light set of modifications off of Ubuntu has
become a thriving project in its own right. Nothing has illustrated this quite so much as its Debian Edition. The first release of Linux Mint
Debian Edition (LMDE) was just a bit rough but the project has been refining the Debian Edition quite a bit. I’m looking forward to future
releases and seeing how LMDE evolves in 2011. "
