Robert Bennett sent me an email today, December 2, regarding a new Linux distribution of his, called Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix.

Yes, you've guessed it! Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix is a re-spin of the original Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (Precise Pangolin) operating system, featuring the Cinnamon desktop environment instead of Unity.

“I hope you find the Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix easy to use and beneficial.” said Robert Bennett. “The idea to maintain the support resources of the ubuntu community, the Ubuntu Software Center, and Ubuntu One, while adding the user friendliness of the Cinnamon Desktop”.

Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix comes with a classic, two-panel desktop, and includes out-of-the-box support for all your multimedia needs, a Mozilla Firefox web browser packed with handful add-ons and plugins, as well as a weather applet.

The Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix operating system including all the Ubuntu extras package that most users might need, such as Adobe Flash support, Java (OpenJDK) support, audio and video codecs, fonts, libdvdcss, and much more.

It also comes with the powerful GIMP image editor software, the wonderful VLC Media Player application, Nemo as the default file manager, the Scrach educational program, and the Squick app, a full-featured implementation of the Smalltalk programming language and environment.

Useless to say, Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix is not supported, endorsed, or affiliated in any way with Canonical or other entity.

“Again, thank you very much for downloading and I truly hope that you find the Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix useful.”

“Special thanks to the Ubuntu Project, Canonical Ltd., Mark Shuttleworth, Clement Lefebvre, Cinnamon, and the Debian Project for sharing.” says Robert Bennett, developer of Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix.

Thanks, friend. The idea behind the "Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix" name is an effort to respect the trademark policy in regard to remixes. After all, this is Ubuntu, merely with the Unity Desktop environment swapped out for Cinnamon with a few additional packages installed and a few alternate default settings. There is no commercial interest whatsoever. This is all about sharing an Ubuntu that is fully tweaked and ready for the (average) end user. It is my hope that this project will win over more new Ubuntu users (who were never prior linux users at all.) Thanks again. :)

I'm sorry but these "respins" are completely pointless. i can install stock Ubuntu, install cinnamon, and completely remove all unity packages in less then 10 minutes. I mean this really has nothing groundbreaking to make me even want to consider installing this but I appreciate the efforts and as always choice is all about Linux.

Comment #4.1 by: bob on 10 Jan 2013, 16:05 GMT

Have you tried this? It definitely does not take less than 10 minutes, unless you know where all the Unity stuff is in advance. I assure you most people, even avid Ubuntu folk, do not. I'm in the process of doing this now, partly for fun and partly for a potential deploy to my family pc. If this respin or distro or whatever you want to call it came in a 64 bit flavor, I'd go with it in a heartbeat.

Comment #4.2 by: stlouisubntu on 12 Jan 2013, 19:17 GMT

@bob Hey friend, there is indeed a 64-bit flavor. Here is the download link for the latest one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cinnamon-remix/files/Ubuntu-Cinnamon-Remix-amd64-121812.iso/download

Also, if you decide to download and install it. I encourage you to register @ sourceforge.net and provide feedback. Thanks so much for considering it.

Kind Regards,

stlouisubntu (lead developer of the Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix .)

I agree. Your remix is quite good. I was a longtime mint user but some of the last few releases are a bit buggy. On our computers at home I now use Netrunner 12.12 and Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix.
