[orca-list] Which versions of Mint?

[Glenn <glennervin cableone net>]

Hi All,
I downloaded Linux Mint 17 Mate 32-bit and it boots to a desktop, but seems 
to have no functionality, no audio either.
I have downloaded it multiple times, from different mirrors and on two 
different computers, and I have burned it to USB using three different 
utilities.

Can anyone tell me which is the most accessible version of Mint?
I use Orca.
