Overview of Zorin OS 9

 

I have written a blog previously regarding my new operating system called Xubuntu by Ubuntu. I have been playing with the system for the past week, and I can say that it is light, easy to use and fast compared to a Windows 10 system.
I was looking for more “flavors” and decided to try the Zorin OS, but I cannot say that I am impressed.

I tried to install this OS due to the easy use and look and feel that can be set as WIN XP; WIN 7; MAC and Linux look, also this system suppose to be able to open Windows programs without a problem.

First, keeps crashing, then cannot choose any other than 2 options Win 2000 and MAC navigation look, which I am not really fond on.

The specs state that the system comes installed out of the box with flash player and choices of Internet programs, and a nice video editor.

Flash player does not install, and will not run on any internet browsers. Video editor not able to open, and the software center each time is opened, closes automatically without allowing me to choose or search for a program to install.

Once finally I got to browse through it and got it to work a little, the upgrade manager came up, and when prompted to upgrade, most of the upgrades came with an error message and at finish, when to restart, I got a black screen……

 

This is it for now. I will try to install another version, perhaps this is the issue with the system….. but we will see.

 

Until next time.

Happy New Year

5 things to avoid with your internet presence

 

When you are a small business owner and starting  your journey into your fabulous entrepreneurship, you certainly want to be online, present your company in a professional manner and create a great relationship with our prospects and customers.

Regardless if creating your own web site, or outsource it to a professional, make sure you understand or instruct the designer to check for errors and create for multiple browsers settings before going live.

Here are 5 error messages annoying to a visitor, BUT harmful to your small business and should be avoided, especially when starting your business.

1)    Web designed for a specific version of the internet.
“Sorry, seams that you have not updated your internet browser. In order to view this site, go here (link) and upgrade”

2)    Web site that is not available to browse (in construction)
“sorry, we are not online yet, site still in construction. Please come back later” (??)

3)    Web site with IMPORTANT NOTICE
“dear visitor, due to high demands we no longer offer our services online. If you would like to be added to our waiting list, please send an e-mail” (??)

4)    Web site link broken
“oops, the site you are looking for is not available.”

5)    Web site access denied
“to access this site enter your ID and password”  

These messages will make the visitor go back to the search engine, and click on the next site that works.

You as the small business owner, spent money, time and effort to create and attractive site, yet wonder why no one is contacting you about your product and service.
