Oh, definately. There's no denying that all Linux Mint is, is Ubuntu with some extra codecs (well, and a few custom applications to make updating a bit more newbie friendly etc) but that's part of the appeal for me :-) I can give my friends a version of Ubuntu that "just works" and is very new user friendly.
