ok, i have decided to dump ubuntu 10.10 and win xp from my laptop and run strictly from zorin 6. if anyone has the time to point me in the right direction , it would be much appreciated. im on night shift and have some really anal bosses. so i am restricted to a few hours a day to work on this. only problem is running down wifi drivers , but i had to do it with ubuntu but thats been awhile. is there a simple way to delete the info and such from the other 2 systems and keep this one running good? i will just make this whole hard drive linux zorin 6. i read that i also need to make room for swap so i have room to hold info without dragging system down.it is acer 1640z with 1 g ram. will try to find another g of ram and maybe at higher speed. also look into putting better vid card in. i have had it for 6 years and want to make it a pure system with the best possible setup i can get. my home comp has alot more nutz to it so im not so worried about it right now, other than finding how to put mbr file on hdd instead of it being stuck onto usb. so if anyone has the experience in this stuff, could you please advise. thank you.
