I was used to it. Some virus on my daughter laptop had me putting Ubuntu on it. That too was fine. My new netbook was miserable to use with windows 8. When I saw Zorin I ran it from a flash drive. It was faster than Windows 8 running from a flash drive. Since windows 8 takes over bios I just deleted it during the Install of Zorin. So before you install you have to change Bios, this is Microsoft's little poison pill. I think they need to be brought up on Anti trust on this. Anyway Zorin is great on this little netbook. I love it. At this point in life its like a reflex memory. I need this I go here type of thing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11829658278715355029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422562534024200209.post-9843227468050765842013-08-21T10:36:43.466-07:002013-08-21T10:36:43.466-07:00Grub Customizer can get rid of that hideous GRUB s...Grub Customizer can get rid of that hideous GRUB screen for you. I haven't gotten it to be as nice as Zorin's Live boot screen, though. :( I think i've fixed the absurd res of the login screen now (lightdm in Zorin 7 Lite) but am still looking to change/disable the ultrabright splash screen before that. Maybe i should just back up my stuff and install Ubuntu.Cees Timmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09503128896817151851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422562534024200209.post-24590272865921372002013-08-12T12:19:53.227-07:002013-08-12T12:19:53.227-07:00I have never read so much drivel in my life.

Gnome is most windows-like), additionally it adds Mint-menus (like an advanced version of Windows start menu) and it also has numerous software packages built in; yet unlike Zorin, you don't feel like you have to pay for something that the Zorin 'team' didn't actually do.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14237781614525054657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422562534024200209.post-53432490282560763822012-02-06T01:07:26.575-08:002012-02-06T01:07:26.575-08:00Is there something wrong with you?

My Zorin installation was 15min, which is way faster then Windows. I mean even Windows have a screen that looks similar to your last pic (safe mode startup) wouldn't that confuse users? I've used Zorin for a few months now, and its the only software that I can say has come closest to flawless!! Even MS Office works like a charm..so instead of writing crap on your thread rather help Windows develop something more stable like Zorin OS, cos it looks like you can only comment on the small things that don't really matter instead of the actual product developed! I wish Windows could develop something as stable!! CiaoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
