I just upgraded to zorin8. On my laptop it is very unstable. So, I removed it.

Just for the hell of it. I did a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04.
I still don't like the desktop.
On my 12 inch screen there are too many default icons on 'left side' taskbar. So I must scroll to find them.
I still cant work out how to move it to 'horizontal bottom/top', and there seem to be too many leads into spending money to Ubuntu.
So I wiped it.

I tried a few others (even PCLinux) without any 'happy' success.

Then just for the hell of it. I retried installing Cinnammon 16.
Wonder of wonders, it installed perfectly!!!!!!!!!

I am guessing that all the re-burns and different distros installed, removed whatever the problem was.

So, unless it goes wrong again, I will stay with Cinnammon 16, at least until Connammon 17 (LTS) is released in May.

It is a long time since I used a seperate camera, but, all of my laptop (built-in) cameras have been color capable.

Has Ubuntu added a single-click ability to take a screen-shot?
In Mint I pause the video, then go to Accessories>screenshot.
