What's New with Zorin OS 6 for Me - September 2012


Just thought I'd write something this month about what's new with using Zorin OS 6.
#1
I'm still having problems with the Start menu, I think it is still a bit buggy.

#2
Applications, Utilities and Programs that I have recently downloaded:

ARMAGETRONAD

A Tron light-cycle game. Pretty good game, I was playing this for a week or two almost everyday, but then the game lost its appeal. Now I just play it when I feel like it.


GWENVIEW

A photo viewer. I needed a different photo viewer for the laptop that had Zorin OS 6 installed on it because sometimes Image Viwer would lock up the computer when displaying larger pictures; therefore, I am using Gwenview as the default image viewer.

BOOT-REPAIR

I decided to rebuild my HP-Slimline and put Windows XP back on the machine and dual boot with Zorin OS. I also replaced the hard drive from 250 GB to 500 GB. I did some partitioning and while doing so messed up the grub loader. I found this excellent utility to fix the grub loader.

  1. Hi I just installed Zorin OS 6 core. It is my first linux system i've ever used. I dual booted it to my spare computer which has Win 7 64-bit on it. Since you have experience with this OS I would like to speak to you more if possible.

    1. I would suggest the Zorin OS forum. I am sure you can find many answers there. Here is the link:
