Hi,
I've found that Ubuntu Is much easier for new users, I had loads of problems 
with linux mint 6 and got rid of it, but i've not tried linux mint 7. When 
you have a bit more linux experience I recommend trying archlinux, which is 
a command line linux system that gives you a base on which you can install 
gnome. There is a talking version of archlinux availible. Another version 
similar to this is grml.

If you're just learning, you could give vinux a try
http://vinux.org.uk
it's linux for the visually impaired, based on debian 5, it's a great 
system.

Hope this helps,

Ash.
