I'm currently working as the only IT staff member at a small neighbourhood council that is dedicated to helping our neighbours as much as we can by providing various services such as reconditioning schools, parks, and in my case computers.
Now recent we received a huge batch of laptops (Lenovo Thinkpad T60) as donations. We use these laptops so they can provide online and local training to youth workers so they can learn work skills and etiquette that will be essential for them to advance their careers professionally. The issue we are currently facing with these laptops is that the hardware is rather low end and that they were originally designed to work with Windows XP, which unfortunately recently stopped being supported.
Thanks to Zorin OS I was able to breath a new life into these laptops while providing a very similar environment to the end users so that they can feel right at home and continue their work without suffering from freezes or crashes and with greater performance and security to boot.
On behalf of the neighbourhood council, we would like to thank the Zorin OS team for their commitment on an extraordinary software that we hope will be going strong for years to come.
This is a guest post by Cesar Escoto, which took part in the joint Zorin OS contest.
How to choose an operating system for your computer and how to run it there.

Linux notes from DarkDuck blog is now 4 years old!
It was 4 years ago when the first post was published in English on this blog, Linux notes from DarkDuck.
Do you remember that time? I think there are not that many of you who do. How may of my readers joined the Linux community after I started the blog? Are there any who was influenced by me on this road? I hope at least couple of you are...
Congratulations to everyone!
And, of course, stay tuned for more interesting stuff to come...

Users don't want Ubuntu 14.10
Linux notes from DarkDuck announced a poll few weeks ago. The poll contained two questions:
- Are you waiting for Ubuntu 14.10 release?
- Are you planning to update/upgrade/install Ubuntu 14.10 on your computer?
