Linux Mint 13
System: Linux kernel 3.2.0, Cinnamon 1.4, MATE 1.2.0, X.org X server 1.11.3
Internet: Firefox 12.0, Thuderbird 12.0.1
Graphics/Photos: Eye of MATE Image Viewer 1.2.0, gThumb 2.14.3, GIMP 2.6.12
Office: Libre Office 3.5.3.2 (Including Write, Calc, Impress, Draw and Base)
Multimedia: Banshee 2.4, Gnome Mplayer 1.0.5, Totem Movie Player 3.0.1, Rhythmbox 2.96, VLC Media Player 2.0.1
Internet: Firefox 12.0, Thuderbird 12.0.1

Mageia 2
System: Linux Kernel 3.3.6, KDE 4.8.2, X.org X server 1.11.4
Internet: Firefox 10.0.4 ESR, Konqueror 4.8.2
Graphics/Photos: Gwenview 2.8.2, Okular 0.14.2, GIMP 2.8.0
Office: LibreOffice 3.5.3.2
Multimedia: Amarok 2.5.0, Dragon Player 2.0
There are some interesting differences there - particularly with Mageia having a much newer Linux kernel, X server and GIMP, but having chosen to stay with the Firefox ESR release. Mint has always been strong in sound and video, and it shows in this list. I would like for both of them to have a bit more for photo management packages. Of course, this is only what is included in the default base installation, and both of these distributions have excellent software repositories, with lots of excellent packages in all categories.
