I'm switching my Linux box and a friend's machine to Linux Mint (from Ubuntu), and was going to use v11. I want a simple desktop and something solid that isn't going to be buggy or difficult to setup. I basically use the terminal, emacs, Ruby, and a browser (Chrome). Should I stick with v11 or go ahead and install v12 now? Would it be better to wait a while to let any bugs shake out, or should 12 be pretty solid now?

While I usually don't upgrade to a new version until a few weeks after a distro is updated, it boils down to personal taste more than anything. Honestly, the best answer is make live CDs of both, play with them both and go with the one you like.

No problems here using plain ol' debian on my laptop. Stable and fast.

  Huh, that wasn't the question at all.
