Zorin core 6 live was a real disaster. The desktop freaks out whenever I clicked on any menu items. It offered to disable compiz, to which I agreed. After that the destop became totally useless.<br />This is the reason I think Zorin 6 is receiving such lavish praise.<br /><br />Running Linux Mint 13 KDE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-20445876887757785792012-08-22T21:11:36.211+01:002012-08-22T21:11:36.211+01:00This is not direct promo of Zorin, but rather an a...This is not direct promo of Zorin, but rather an article from the contest, which I ran together with Zorin team and Linuxaria.

It's good to hear these stories. I install Zorin for newbe linux users because there is nothing better to ease them in! I hope Zorin stays on the path it is on and keeps improving and adding it's value added software. The people at Zorin are really helping to bring in new linux users!Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00523926936800921481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-1433171658749291792012-08-22T17:49:57.117+01:002012-08-22T17:49:57.117+01:00I'm pretty sure he means that he saved money o...I'm pretty sure he means that he saved money over purchasing (possibly multiple copies of) Windows 7. He's just using Zorin and running old XP licenses in virtual machines for any Windows software he needs.CFWhitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01109952971346462453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-46906086240212036552012-08-22T12:21:30.285+01:002012-08-22T12:21:30.285+01:00I still can't figure out how you "saved&q...I still can't figure out how you "saved" money. You spent money and in return got Zorin Ultimate instead of Ubuntu (which is free). Virtualbox is free and the same thing with Windows could have been done in Ubuntu.<br /><br />That is not a saving in my book. It was an expenditure which may or not be wise depending on your opinion of Ubuntu.<br /><br />I could do the same thing in Kubuntu and it would be cheaper than buying Zorin. Would I be saving anything? No. I have not spent a dime. I am where I began. Free (in both senses of the word).<br /><br />This is misleading headline attention grabbing or a promo for Zorin. You have not "saved money" at all. All it may have saved you is your time in learning to use Ubuntu.LinuxCanuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758750142160626716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-88378092421885016912012-08-22T11:29:38.879+01:002012-08-22T11:29:38.879+01:00Been using Zorin OS 6 as the main OS on my HP Pavi...Been using Zorin OS 6 as the main OS on my HP Pavilion G6 laptop.
