Well not new in the truest sense but the Zorin team have worked really hard on the new release (4.0). Have tested 'live' - few 'python' errors but most reviews report stability once installed. What is really neat is that Zorin (based on Ubuntu/Lubuntu) is unique in that it includes an 'appearance' changer - it's default mimics Windows 7 - there is an option to have it look like Windows XP or the Gnome Linux desktop. (The paid for Ultimate version is supposed to have Windows 2000 and Mac Desktop like appearance choices!). It must be remembered that Linux is not Windows and vice-versa but it is good to see a GNU/Linux distribution that does not look intimidating to Windows users who have been spoonfed M$ offerings! It also comes with 'Wine' (even on the free download 'core' distributions for 32-bit and 64-bit, plus educational versions based on Edubuntu.
