I take a look at the latest version of Linux Mint 17 MATE edition.

Clement Lefebvre has announced the release of Linux Mint 17: "The team is proud to announce the release of Linux Mint 17 'Qiana'. Linux Mint 17 is a long-term support release which will be supported until 2019. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop even more comfortable to use. The Update manager has been hugely improved. It shows more information, it looks better, it feels faster, and it gets less in your way. It no longer needs to reload itself in root mode when you click on it. It no longer checks for an Internet connection or waits for the network manager and it no longer locks the APT cache at session startup. The UI has been improved, the icons were modified a bit and the changelog retrieval is now much faster and more reliable."

"MATE is a desktop environment forked from the now-unmaintained code base of GNOME 2. The use of a new name ("MATE" instead of "GNOME") avoids conflicts with GNOME 3 components." -Wikipedia.org
