Re: Zorin OS 4 Ultimate linux operating system
I also am playing with this and on a laptop you will most likely need to add drivers for your wireless card.

Re: Zorin OS 4 Ultimate linux operating system
I did not have to add any drivers at all, I ran this as a live cd, it connected via wireless to the internet, I was able to get to all my network shares on any other computer in my network. Very easy and fast 
As well as any usb flash drive I plugged into it, worked every time. I did not try running anything in wine yet, I would presume what works in wine works in wine no matter which distro you use.

I found most of the Linux Os's will have all the drivers you need .....there are a couple that don't

Re: Zorin OS 4 Ultimate linux operating system
I found it is better to have everything going (switched on) ....eg internet etc before booting up with linux and the Os will do the rest
Re: Zorin OS 4 Ultimate linux operating system

Re: Zorin OS 4 Ultimate linux operating system
I can't say that I have .....but I suppose anything is possible 

Re: Zorin OS 4 Ultimate linux operating system
Didn't spend too much time on it, but couldn't get the d@$* imac to boot from cd, supposed to just hold the c key, but didn't work, I will look more later, only tried 2 boot cycles.
