[RESOLVED] Beginners Guide to Zorin OS

Greetings, all.

I've started working on a "Beginners Guide to Zorin" (made on Zorin, of course, which seems like a nice test), and I want to show the differences between the seven difference versions by showing the contents of the Start Menu. I know there's a way to list all the installed packages, but I have no idea what all these things are, and Start Menu entries are much more familiar. Here's example for Zorin Core:

Code:

Now I have made similar lists for Lite, Educational and Gaming, and I can add small descriptions for each of these entries myself. But I have no idea what's inside Business, Multimedia and Ultimate.

Is there anyone who could give me the Start Menu options of these versions, in text (from a config file or so) or even in screenshots? If needed, PM me. I promise I'll put your name in the Credits... -smile-

Thanks in advance,
Simon

Greetings, Wolfman.

Thanks, will do!

BTW. I've left my email address on public forums at least 10.000 times over the last 15 years, yet if I do Google search for my own address, it returns 8 hits, 2 of them of zoringroup.com. Internet forgets, on average, within six month. Anyway, I appreciate your concern...

Take care,
Simon
