I have previously stated that they are the type of persons that drives prices up, because they buy in order to make old hardware into a display stand.

if you are paranoid enough, then you should use one of many Linux distro's or one of the security oriented BSD's... And go through the source code of everything you install on your PC and compile everything yourself, starting from the Linux kernel... :dead: Yeah... That's for the super paranoid …

Well.... Zorin is based on Ubuntu wich are based on Debian. Have you tried downloading the deb installer? Perhaps you can find and add the correct deb repository and "apt-get install" it?

Yeah... As far as I know, we are 3 (possible 4) Danish members all in all on Vogons. There are more Amiga users than vintage pc users in Denmark. That said, there might be enough people for a combined vintage computer-"thing". EDIT When I think about it. There are actually an anual national sensible …
