    Zorin OS

    So I just got this and loaded it up on one of my spare HDD's. How about it just took me 15 minutes (including Google seaching) just to get my GPU driver's installed. Anyone using any version of Linux?

    Well I was more looking for a "Linux for Dummies" guide. I'm noticing that you've got to be pretty good with a command line to be able to do anything with it.

    I don't really have anything specific to ask right now, but was wondering if there were any random features that I should know about? Such as something that you ran across randomly after running it for a while. Zorin should be essentially the same as it uses the Linux 2.6 kernal.

    Hmm...Open Suse is 4.7 GB but it comes with a lot of programs and utilities ex. open office and compression tools...
    such as mandrivia that does not
    Ive tried ubuntu, mint, mandrivia and open suse
    The slogan of Open SUSE is "The most complete version of Linux"
    Which i do have to agree with..like i said..it come with all the tools and utilities and if there is an extra ultility u need, its easy to download..you dont even have to compile it..(which i like..one of the few linux distrobutions that u dont have to)..Im currently running it with samba as a file server and srcds as a dedicated hl2dm server...
    SPECS:
    Pentium 4, 2.93 GHz
    512 MB RAM
    30GB (main HDD)
    160 GB (secondary HDD)
    Intel Integrated GPU
    HP Pavillion a1106n
    PS - I havent really heard a lot about Zorin so ill have to take a look at that.
