Included in the Linux Mint 10 release are some significant improvements to the Linux Mint main menu. Mint users can now install applications, add GTK bookmarks, apply GTK themes and more. I've taken a video and some screenshots highlighting the new menu features in action.

Linux Mint is a heavily customized community-driven derivative built on top of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. According to the creators, its purpose is "to produce an elegant, up-to-date, and comfortable GNU/Linux desktop distribution." The latest release, Linux Mint 5.0 "Elyssa", released this month, retains most of Ubuntu's stability and features, but distinguish itself with unique features and tweaks.
