I’ve used Linux since the early days of Red Hat and I have no idea what Zorin is? Rather than saying I forgot it, how about sharing some features/functions about this distro instead?

I disagree, while xfce is lighter than gnome, its not as light as any of the *box’s, enlightenment or any of the tiling window managers.

This is only going to be an option for a little while, eventually this will be replaced with Unity2D i believe.

I switched to Arch Linux because of Unity, i dont think Unity itself is a terrible shell, but the fact that every single application needs to be patched in order for it to play nice with the global menu and the launcher is just crap. It is already frustratingly difficult to get your app into Ubuntu’s repo’s, now its expected that we patch all our apps to play nice with ubuntu’s bling?

If someone has any doubt in their mind about the direction of both Unity and Gnome, head over to Xubuntu. XFCE is the great alternative the dying gnome 2.x we know and love. Plus, runs faster than Gnome. Its great for computers with low memory. I highly recommend it!

I’ve played with it. Deep in Fedora ATM, but Arch is on my list.

Yes. You and I know this. 100% of the new to Linux users out there do not. Besides, it’s still GNOME 2, not the next version.

you forgot Zorin which is a very good Ubuntu based Linux Distro and some would argue more user friendly then Ubuntu
