Should also work (with a little adjustment) in Lubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 … or any distro based on Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 that uses the LXDE desktop environment.
I was asked on the Peppermint forum if it was possible to get the “Aero” style window snapping function in the LXDE desktop environment … well it turns out you can …
(without the weight of Compiz)
You’ll have to switch to the xfwm4 (Xfce) window manager, get a patched version from a PPA, and install stiler (from the same PPA)
[EDIT]
I’ve ONLY tested this in Peppermint Three 32bit … so there are no guarantees with Peppermint Three 64bit until someone confirms it … that said, it shouldn’t (if done correctly) break 64bit but snapping may not work, I’ll change this edit if/when someone confirms it works in 64bit … DO NOT attempt to do this in Peppermint One/Ice/Two, it won’t work … the PPA that you will be adding ONLY contains patched versions of xfwm4 for 11.10 and 12.04, so it will ONLY work in Peppermint THREE
[END EDIT]
OK, first a video show the snapping in action, and to check this is what you want:-

If that IS what you want … follow these instructions:
First, add the PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fossfreedom/xfwm4
Now update your package cache:
sudo apt-get update
Now install xfwm4, xfwm4-themes, and stiler:
sudo apt-get install xfwm4 xfwm4-themes stiler
Now we need to edit a couple of files so they show in the menus … so run:
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/xfce-wm-settings.desktop
When a file opens with a ton of stuff in it, make it read:-
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=xfwm4 Window Manager
Comment=Configure window behavior and shortcuts
Icon=xfwm4
Exec=xfwm4-settings %f
Categories=Settings;DesktopSettings;GTK;
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
SAVE the file, and exit gedit.
Now back in the terminal run:
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/xfce-wmtweaks-settings.desktop
When a file opens with a ton of stuff in it, make it read:-
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=xfwm4 Window Manager Tweaks
Comment=Fine-tune window behaviour and effects
Icon=wmtweaks
Exec=xfwm4-tweaks-settings %f
Categories=Settings;DesktopSettings;GTK;
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
SAVE the file, and exit gedit.
OK, now go to:-
menu > Preferences > Desktop Session Settings
click the “Advanced Settings” tab
and change:-
Window Manager: openbox-peppermint
to
Window Manager: xfwm4
Click the “OK” button.
Log off, and on again (or reboot), to pick up the change.
You should now be using the xfwm4 window manager.
Go to:
menu > Preferences > xfwm4 Window Manager
then click the “Advanced” tab.
Tick both boxes under “Windows Snapping”
You’re done 
xfwm4 Windows Manager Tweaks also contains a “Compositor” tab … compositing is disabled by default, but you can enable it if you wish … then you get to plaay with things like drop shadows, and opacity
