Hello, i'm a brand new user, i have very few knowledge about ubuntu based systems. A task was given to me: i need to improve a computer room at my school. We have more or less 14 machines working resonable. I think about, and my solution to maximize the number of users at same time is to create multiseat cpus. Is this possible with Zorin? One CPU with 2 monitors, 2 mouses and 2 keyboards, and also create a network to share docs? Can anyone help me!?

Hi and welcme! It should be possible as Zorin is based on Ubuntu - see the Ubuntu wiki here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatOneCard

Regarding sharing, you might want to setup an NTFS partition and make it shareable that way, such as an external drive? You could setup your own cloud service using Seafile:

Or just enable sharing of NTFS partitions on each machine - how to do it here:
