Replaced Zorin OS 9

[m654321]

I have had Zorin dual-booted with LL2.  In fact, these two distros were my hot favourites, from having tried numerous ones, following my exit from Win XP in April this year.  Zorin is very beautiful, programmes open very crisply (no noticeable lagginess on my Asus laptop; 4GB RAM, 4-core CPU), and it shows great hardware compatibility, but it has been plagued by instability (v9 much more than v6.4), e.g. AWN bar issues, unpredictable reversion to Ubuntu,  bugginess in many programmes so they fail to work out of the box (e.g. podcasts in Rhythmbox, Oracle Virtualbox, Sound Recorder, etc). All this has made it somewhat unreliable.

Linux Lite 2.0 is now my distro of choice,  because it seems to be a very stable and dependable.  I have had no problems with it since April.  Also, and just as importantly, I find the community here extremely supportive and so very helpful (pitched at my newbie level), which means I have got round most problems that I've needed solving such as 'how to create a shared data partition between Win7 and LL2', etc.  I found the support in this forum invaluable - without it I'd be clueless!  I can't understand why LL  currently has a Distrowatch ranking of only 45 (though I'm unconcerned by this) - in my view it qualifies for the top 10, though it is clearly my no.1...

PS: the Zorin 9 grub screen looks really cool - maybe some ideas there for smartening up the LL2.0 grub screen...
