    Any thoughts from you Gurus and Geeks? Think this might get some of the Windows Holdovers to go Linux?

    Excellent find VW

    I downloaded that and installed it into a virtual machine. You can pick your windows version,

    It's also a very efficient distribution, it would run very well on older computers.

    Finally installed this on an old laptop. It does have a very good Windows look but it certainly is not Windows and is very limited as far as software applications. May wipe it and switch over to Zorin OS.

    I just put this on a PC... Highly recommend it.

    I agree with your opinion on the windows look alike. It looks like windows BUT getting stuff to run took much command line.

    Ubuntu Mate was a breeze from install to running, I actually turned off my other linux machine and am using it now. It's light weight enough to run on older machines.

    Thanks John. I did look at the page. I guess Ubuntu is branching off into several new distributions. I think when I was first experimenting with Linux way back when and it was the newest, hottest distribution. Now you have all kinds of variations of it.
