Feedback on Zorin 6.4

Hi all

Been trying out 6.4 on USB stick with 4GB persistence. It's very stable not many problems so far and very fast for USB. I like to test to destruction, not their yet, but as you can see. ----

------------ It's ON FIRE.

If I can achieve something similar to my 5.2 desktop. --------

Well I've given 6.4 a good go and it's taken all I can throw at it, but now my 4GB persistence is almost full up, so I cant do much more. But I wont be installing it because, when I mouse over a music file it doesn't automatically play like in 5.2, and when I grab a open window with the mouse I can't drag it to the next workspace on the cube, like I can in 5.2 ,this is something I use all the time, but it stops at the edge of the screen and then expands to fill up half of the screen, which I find really annoying.

Roll on 6.5 Auldyin

Thanks swarf.

Did I create these Desktops. Well yes and no. I take what is available in Zorin and arrange them into a Desktop I like.
If you mean the wallpapers I find them wherever I can on the internet.
At the moment Iv'e got 58 which I use in Wallch, available in the software centre, to randomly change then at a random time.

Here's a few of them -----------------

The wall of the middle-aged lady over the car looks like an extract of a remake of the first 'Transformers' movie with the original actress! :lol:

Yes, Wolfman, you got it! I have found that 'love wallpaper HD' in Ubuntu Tweak and excellent source for HD Wallpapers - it is pot luck but you can just carry on clicking the 'I'm feeling lucky!' button until you get the one you want! :D

Going back to Megan .... there is an excellent 'speed drawing' on YouTube of the scene by someone using Adobe Photoshop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1jWOrVDMyk
