Linux Mint 12 comes with the following major software:
kernel: 3.0.0-12-generic
X Org: 1.10.4
GNOME: 3.2.1
Firefox: 7.0.1
Below is my configuration of the guest machine:
General

OS Type: Ubuntu
System
Base Memory: 1024 MB
Processor(s): 1
Execution Cap: 100%

Network

Note: I am using the default configuration except for the memory. I should have enabled 3D acceleration support and increase video memory. But I would like to compare how it compares with the older versions of Linux Mint.
Without too much ado, below are screencapture of Linux Mint 12 install at strategic points

Figure 11. Login screen, looks nice

For those familiar with VirtualBox and who have been following along on latest distributions will probably notice that I should have enabled 3D acceleration during the installation. This specially so for GNOME 3.x series window managers.
Enjoy!!!
