Last time I tried linux I couldn't get the bloody network printer to connect...

With this version it found all my hardware including the network printer and Windows file server immediately...

Easy to install as well. Download it onto a data stick, plug it in, go and make a cup of tea and all done.

Very impressive.

I wouldnt use it on my main computer as yet as I have programmes that do not run on it.

But for surfing (running Firefox) and basic use its perfect.
