Product Details

which doesn't contain:

Linux Mint.

- Macromedia Flash
- Support for encrypted DVDs
- Windows codecs
- Support for restricted multimedia formats

Please
note: $5.41 from every Linux Mint disc shipped is given to support the
continued development of Linux
Mint. We are proud to offer
