Perhaps, this is the Linux distro to help you (your colleague) to a Linux OS based desktopHosted at SourceForge -- download link:Thanks for the heads up. You beat me to it.I took it for a spin (Vbox VM) and found out about the purchase of a "license key" to unlock the "Windows apps" during the installation process.I contacted the support team on some other issue -- the ISO shasum is only sha1sum and the GPG keys are missing v/s every other Linux distro uses sha256sum and provides the GPG keys to authenticate the shasums.I am sticking to Kubuntu / Lubuntu / Mint :)--Arun Khan
