Detailed Description

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 Brasero, Banshee, 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.

Benefit to Fedora

Cinnamon gives Fedora users another option for an out-of-the-box desktop environment other than Gnome. It provides a Fedora-based alternative to other distributions such as Linux Mint that use Cinnamon as the default desktop. Cinnamon spin also includes some packages that the base Live CD does not include, such as Libreoffice and Gimp. This gives the user a more complete desktop experience with less initial configuration and installation of additional packages required.
