Linux Mint's purpose is to produce an elegant, up to date and comfortable GNU/Linux desktop distribution.
Linux Mint 5, codename Elyssa is based on Daryna and compatible with Ubuntu Hardy and its repositories.
The purpose of the Light Edition is to bring a version of Linux Mint which doesn't contain:
- Proprietary software
- Patented technologies

In some countries where the legislation allows software patents to be enforced the Light Edition provides a way for users to legally download Linux Mint.
The following components are NOT present in this Light Edition:
- Macromedia Flash
- Support for encrypted DVDs
- Windows codecs
- Support for restricted multimedia formats
- Unrar
- Sun Java (replaced by GIJ)
- The Light Edition also comes with Grub, as opposed to Grub-GFX which comes with the Main Edition.
