rarely even boot the XP. For the rare occasion that I do need Windows, I still have the old dual boot, and I even have XP and Vista instances on VirtualBox on the laptop. But what about Zorin? Well, I have several laptops I've picked up here and there, and all run some form of Linux. My wife and I do woodworking and art, among other things. I was setting up an old Dell Latitude D600 for occasional use in the shop. That is not a place where you want to set up your good laptop. At the time, this was several years ago, many of the flavors of Linux I tried would not recognize the wireless card in the D600, at least without a lot of extra work. I tried every version I could find, and nothing worked. This is, after all, a 2003 computer and pretty light specs for these days. I finally tried Zorin OS 9 in the Free Lite version, and it immediately worked with no hiccups. It did everything I needed flawlessly, and was acceptably fast on the D600. Admittedly, it pulled light duty, but I kept it (31/53)
