“Several readers contacted me, urging me to review Zorin. My
interest piqued, I set about the lanes of Google, searching for
more information. The initial findings were quite positive. Zorin
was praised in the reviews I read. The official website looked
posh, sending a subliminal message that it was a kind of a freebie
Mac OSX.

“Zorin aims to be a simple, friendly operating system for Linux
newbies. Then again, all distros do that. They all aim to be simple
and friendly. When you think about distributions like Ubuntu, Linux
Mint or PCLinuxOS, you have pretty much everything you need. With a
small degree of variations here and there, they all offer a
complete experience out of the box. So there must be something
extra that makes Zorin special.”
