All 4 of my home PC's are running Zorin...I love it!
Arlolra- Pros
- Easy to install & set-up. More customizable than Windows.
- Cons
- Need to use Wine for apps that don't support Linux. Knowing how to use Terminal helps with certain tasks.
- Summary
- Fast, secure and resource friendly, plus...you can't beat the price!
again be careful similar problems to ubuntu
nealrflett- Pros
- easy looking interface user freindly.stable no maintenance. open source
- Cons
- i purchased zorin disk from ebay uk. easy installed however i chose to run it along side windows .this did not happen it hid windows .yes there is an easy way to rectify this providing you have got windows install disk and a little knowledge which took ages to find. would run it from the live cd not fully installed
- Summary
- very interesting software but dont rush to install reasearch it well first
Try it once, you will get hooked!
SergeTaran- Pros
- Newer crashes, never freezes, never Alt-Ctl-Del to continue "working". Windows familiar environment for starters.
- Cons
- We all have several computers at home that use the same internet connection trough wireless router. I use Zorin now for more than two years ans still (including today) I am trying with no results to connect commuters and laptops to share HDD's.
- Summary
- Stable, solid, fast and free replacamemet for Windows and Office. Seriously lacks point-and click home / office networking / file sharing component.
best most stable Linux operating system
