What Zorin version is equivalent to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS?

Core or Lite?

Thanks.

Core, it is based on Ubuntu 14.04 and Zorin Lite is based on Lubuntu 14.04!.

Thanks Wolfman for expert clarification.

Got the Ultimate 6 32 bit but the size is 3.2 GB, would try 9 Core to see if it works fine on my machine or else go with Ubuntu only.

Best Regards.

W7 is a hogger of resources but gives a piece of mind.

That would be last resort.

W7 is a bit too heavy as to resource hogger on T2400, have to reboot, defrag to keep running smooth.

For Windblows, I use "Defraggler Free":

Click on the free version, it is a good tool!.

There is no need to defragment in Linux!.

There is a need to defragment if running more than one GNU/Linux on the same drive - will post link to linux defrag tool on sourceforge later.
