Cons:

It's LXDE

As usual with Mint, all the software worked perfectly, including the pre-installed codecs, and the installation was simple and fast.
This is a big LXDE distro (it needs nearly 50% more memory than Salix LXDE, WattOS, or Lubuntu) but it still runs happily in 256BM. The installer needs a lot more, but it can use swap.
I can never see the point of LXDE. It has fewer features than Xfce for no great saving in resources, and can be more trouble to configure than a simple window manager like Ice. But if you like it, this is a good place to get it.
