There's no official announcement on the Linux Mint website, yet the ISO images for Linux Mint 12 (Lisa) are aready available on the official Linux Mint mirrors.
We've talked to Clement Lefebvre and he told us that these are the final ISO builds of Linux Mint 12. "Yes, but it's not official yet :) Regards, Clement Lefebvre".
Linux Mint 12 (Lisa) is based on the recently released Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) operating system and is powered by Linux kernel 3.0, X.Org 7.6 and GNOME 3.2.
This release of Linux Mint is very special, as it contains a new user interface built on top of the GNOME 3 desktop environment, which gives users a classic two-panel style, making the GNOME 3 migration more enjoyable for everyone.
Linux Mint 12 also includes the MATE desktop interface for all GNOME 2 fans, available at the login prompt. Without further ado, will let you review the highlights and screenshots now!
Highlights of Linux Mint 12:
· Based on Ubuntu 11.10;

· No Unity shell;
· GNOME 3.2;
