Hi and welcome,

I don't do it myself but you can look here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Activ ... nbindHowto

If you are going to use the Gnome De; I would install this package:

"gnome-system-tools"

Its main advantages are:
* Full integration with the new GNOME Control Center.
* An user-friendly interface to carry out the main administration tasks.
* The use of a common user interface in every system.
* A common structure that makes easy the development of new system tools.
Nowadays there are tools for managing:
- Users and groups
- Date and time
- Network options
- Services
- Shares (NFS and Samba)

Regards Wolfman :D

I have been trying to join Zorin to the Windows domain and have access to the home drive of the user. Is there an easy way to do this. I have done a lot of reading and trying but have had no success. I am new to Linux.
