This might be "THE" Linux distro.
It's called Zorin OS.
They are boasting "the gateway to Linux..." and that claim is not unfounded. One of the main features is the "Look Changer" that allows you to change the interface to act like either Windows 7, Windows XP, or a Gnome 2 (Linux). And to customize it further, you can use the "Theme Changer" and make it light, blue, or dark.
As a Linux user, that has been my biggest complaint with different distros-
trying to figure out where everything is, and how to make it look and feel right.
Zorin has all the bases covered.
Zorin has it's "Web Browser Manager" to help you install your choice of browsers. Note, the Midori installer gives you version 4.3. Go here to get the latest version (5.9 at the time of this article).
Wine is already installed with many amenities to help you convert to Linux and leave Windows behind.
Ubuntu Software Center is utilized with this distro. From all my experimentation, this is the easiest way to add programs to your favorite distro. Synaptic, Software Manager, and others just don't compare.
Everything about Zorin seems ready to go with little to no adjusting necessary, with the exception of the creature comforts mentioned above.
The version I used for this review was called "Core". Core is the basic FREE version.
There are PAID versions too. They have an "Ultimate" and a "Business" version. The Ultimate is listed as 9.99 Euros which PayPal said was about $11.83 American. I am going to have to try this.
I'm going to keep using Zorin and it appears this may be the distro to help me convert Windows users over.
