| 1300381 | 2012-09-15 02:29:00 | Has anybody come across Zorin OS 6 linux. I downloaded it this morning and burnt the ISO to a DVD. I am currently reviewing it from the DVD and am replying to this thread using Zorin. I like it so far. It comes with all the goodies that allow me to view movies, use a word processor, get mail, etc. It appears that after you install it to your hard drive you can make it look and act like Windows 7, Vista or even a Mac if you prefer. I might do a dual boot onto my laptop tomorrow. I think that the advice given on this thread will prove useful to me. Read here (http://www.zorin-os.com/). |

| 1300383 | 2012-09-15 04:04:00 | Yep, currently have OS 6 on my Home Theatre Media System. Was a system put together out of spare parts. Possibly could have used xp pro, but with Linux you don't have to worry about COA's Boy, this has turned into a long thread. |

I find it to be a bit different from Ubuntu although there must be some similarities. It does appear easier to work with but reviewing it from DVD does limit the features you can use. You are unable to save settings or download programmes unless you install it on a hard disk I guess. |

| 1300385 | 2012-09-15 05:50:00 | All you have to do is swap in a spare hard drive & install the os & away you go. Currently writing this from Mint 13 Mate. |
