Though I find it kinda weird that they felt the need to diss the wallpaper. I know its an "out of the box" review, but come on, a wallpaper is so easy to change and such a subjective thing anyway that I hardly think it deserves a place in the review. Then again I guess you can argue that if the wallpaper is one of the only things the reviewer found at fault then Mint must be really good!
It's nice to see positive and constructive reviews. The author had indicated positive and negative points for each distro tested, and did mention that all the distros in the review did work fairly well for their intended users.
