This week Linux Mint 13 Release Candidate started making the rounds, and it comes in multiple versions. You have a choice of the Mate 1.2 desktop environment or the Cinnamon 1.4 edition.

Linux Mint 13 "Maya" is the first version of the operating system that will be available in both Mate and Cinnamon versions. The latest software also has a new display manager and updated themes and backgrounds. The developers have also made Yahoo the default search engine, thanks to a revenue sharing deal which helps fund Mint development. But you can install alternate search engines if you like...For more and download links visit Our Forum.
