This weekend, I tried Zorin 8.1 on a perfectly fine machine that was running XP Pro. Said it was the most Windows 7-like free Ubuntu distro. Still needs too many command line entries for the casual home computer user.
Went back and re-installed XP Pro, because that’s what it’s licensed to run. XP is still smoother to use than a Ubuntu-based distro but, of course, is chock full of holes that need security patching and will not be...unless.
Any other XP free replacement suggestions other than basic Ubuntu?

Try Linux Mint running the Mate desktop. Mint takes a few rough edges off Ubuntu. I am curious though, what command line entries you had to enter - I never had to unless making some major changes from the default Ubuntu menu interface.
Mepis, Knoppix, Kanotix, Linux Mint, PC Linux OS...
