Hi there ... I mentioned getting good results with Tori OS on an old pentium 4. It didn't like Zorin, but since then I've resurrected a newer computer that would run 14.04 Lubuntu, but was a bit stretched. I tried Zorin. It has none of the freedom of Ubuntu. It is very heavily branded and 'locked in'. To get a useable Firefox, I had to purge Firefox, and then delete the entire .firefox directory. It contained a number of unidentifiable binaries so it's anybodies guess how they've crippled it. Downloading an archive from the Firefox site, and running that was the only way to get something decent. I'm sure there will be intrusive hacks in other programs - I just haven't found them yet. If anyone comes up with a better option than Zorin, I'll get it! Regards, Barry.
Interesting. Thank you for that I'll bare it in mind. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
