Re: [orca-list] Introduction: New User and Query regarding Getting started with linux

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

Why do you say the builds of Vinux on the Vinux SourceForge page are out 
dated? They're Vinux 5.1, which is currently the latest. They're based 
on Ubuntu 14.04, which is still supported as a long term supported (LTS) 
release. I understand if you're looking for something based on a newer 
version of Ubuntu, but that doesn't make Vinux out dated. I'm not sure 
if it's abandoned or not, but I hadn't heard that it is.


For my part, I just got a new laptop last summer, and I choose to go 
with Ubuntu 16.04 instead of vinux 5.1 to get newer hardware support.
