No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

If you need Windows to run certain things, there's always VirtualBox for Linux, install that and then install a "Guest OS" on a virtual computer and there you have a 2nd computer within the same OS without the need to reboot... :)

One too many down at the Pub????

Some of my goofy stuff comes up after 1/2 a bottle of scotch is gone, like trying to build a 10 meter dish out of chicken wire and conduit.

For something that is supposed to be very like win 7 zorin turns out to be totally infuriating for a dyed in the wool windows user.

Its set the video resolution on my test laptop at an ancient 1024x768 and there no obvious way of changing it to anything apart from an even more decrepit 800x600!

Must be a driver issue but can i figure out how to update it?

Ive got two menu buttons , one in each bottom corner. Somehow, and I have no idea how, and I cant lose the right hand one.

It comes with only chrome pre installed, which is a black mark in my book for starters as its crap. I downloaded firefox, christ knows where that went as I havent found it yet!
