Hi Jim
Just playing around trying to do a screenshot. Hope I did it right? I want post anymore. Daniel.

Thank you, Jim. Never get to old to learn something. I did it all using Lubuntu and the genome tool for taking the screenshots. Daniel.

Hi Colin.
I don't know what your main OS is but if you are really interested drop me a line. I have this old HP test machine set up with XP that I can install a different Linux OS on. Windows is not the only game in town but it will require a little lurning curve. The only reason I keep XP on this machine is because of the dual boot scenario that most people will be using. I have been really surprised their hasn't been more posting in the Linux forum since Microsoft has stopped support for XP. Daniel.

Hi Marc.
If a user is into gaming then windows is the only viable options. I too have experimented with wine with very limited success. I am trying to find a viable dual boot option for XP users who want a safe way to surf the internet and do email and facebook or even DCT. I know it can work but users will have to let Linux do what it does and not try to change it into windows. I know from your posts that you are a tweaker and so am I and I will find a way to make Linux work. The hard part is finding a Distro that works well with the machine one is working on, and I have learned that one Distro doesn't fit all machines. You know their are still a lot XP machines out their that need help, with your help I think we could find a solution. You are a lot better with words than I am. Thanks for your input. Daniel.

OK, I am talking OEM machines like Dell,HP,E Machines etc. I have three machines that I have acquired that the users deemed unuseable, mostly because they didn't want to bother updating them or spend the money updating.
One of thoses machines is an old HP AMD Athlon XP3200 which I am using now, I am not talking about hand built machines, if you are able to do that then you can run anything you want. I am talking about users who are locked into a machine and simply can't afford to upgrade or can't because of their machines specs, like this HP which will run XP or whatever I can find. I have this HP set up for a test machine and if you like a particular Distro I will set it up and see how it works. If I break it, then no big loss. I even have an old Dell I will put on my bench, whatever you prefer and advise. You probably know more about the inner workings of Linux than I do. Daniel.

OK, then maybe some DCT readers might be intrested. I will say that Lubuntu 14.04 with the LXDE desktop has been working well with my HP computer. Thanks Daniel.

I finally got Adobe flash player working in Zorin. I can now play You Tube videos. Daniel.
