Cleve---PM sent.

What I like about Zorin 12.1 is that everything works out of the box.
It's easy to figure out how to run and tweak it.
I do not NEED to use terminal. I can if I WANT to.
I like that I can set it up to work and look like OSX.

Even in the core edition, the included software is very impressive.
I did add Nemo to replace Nautilus for a file manager.

Shawn, thank you again. I don't even know what file manager I like. The one on LMDE and MX-16 work for me. I'll give it a go and let you know. PM's back at you regarding Elive Linux beta...more on that later to you and the left coast TDRHQ

Be careful about reading those manuals. :)

Not understanding why MX-16 would not install an iso.

I use dd more all the time.....It WILL write to where you point it. Hence the name Disk Destroyer.

Check out dc3dd. I haven't used it or read much other than that it was available.

Nemo makes things easier. It has a menu bar at the top. It also will open things in root with a simple right click.

Probably not as polished as Zorin...but funny and maybe configurable

Squirrel update. Got the dvd with Zorin in the mail (Thank you Shawn). Interesting, I had just returned from the post office sending you a usb. Decided to go for it and load it and install as a dual boot (something I hardly ever do). i really just need to search and purchase another drive caddy or two for the 53. It loaded slower than a usb (of course), and found my slow hotel internet connection once loaded. I ran the install per instructions, and once rebooted got some error messages that were sent to Zorin. I ran updates, and watched an old movie on TMC for half an hour until it finished. I lost my one finger scrolling, but find that now the two finger works. I'll have to play around with it some more, but on the 53JJ, it is quick. I do have a question regarding that program Etcher I see Zorin recommends. Is this a Debian system or Ubuntu? I want to download Etcher and try to get it to work. Anyone that knows how to install it properly on Zorin?

Thanks again.

As far as I know, Zorin is Ubuntu based.
