This spin includes the Cinnamon Desktop Enviroment as the default. It includes LibreOffice and the libre-office-base package that don't come on the default Live CD.  Other pre-installed packages include the Brasero CD Burner, Banshee Music Player, Gimp, the Geany text editor and some Nemo additions such as the file-roller package to make Nemo a more functional file browser.  Internet utilities include Filezilla and Putty.

Slogan

Cinnamon  - a modern and customizable desktop environment.

Spin description

Cinnamon desktop is a more traditional desktop than Gnome Shell. It is GTK=based but retains the panel and traditional menus most Linux users are used to. Most applications that will run in Gnome Shell will look similar in Cinnamon. Cinnamon also provides graphical configuration tools where Gnome Shell does not, and has a rich set of available extensions and downloadable themes.
