Hi guys
New to the forum!. I`m thinking of installing Zorin 9 on my laptop but as an astronomer I also want to install Kstars-bleeding which is only available for Ubuntu 14.10 and newer and wondering which version of Ubuntu Zorin 9 is based on please?
cheers

Hi Steve,

Zorin OS Core 9 is based on Ubuntu 14.04!.

I looked on http://pkgs.org/ and it ain't there yet!.

On Launchpad, https://code.launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/+r ... s-bleeding the version for U14.10 has a funny symbol beside it?, there is a daily build for 15.04 though.

I am not sure whether this would work on Zorin 9!.

For 14.10 and above:

Just to add that you mentioned the letter 'K' in that app which means you would also likely have to install KDE - Zorin is built on Gnome DE, not Konqueror DE!
