They are the same thing... Mint is Ubuntu with cooler features. :)
And the Mint “Cinnamon” version comes with the ability to use all the cool gnome features along with being preloaded and boxed with all the applications you will end up wanting to add to Ubuntu later.
On top of access to the Ubuntu repository, Mint Cinnamon also has it’s own custom repository.

It is the best all around full package available. :)

I’ve always stuck with Ubuntu. I’m going to make a stick with Cinnamon and check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!
