Hi there,

1. Are my machine specs fine for Zorin Ultimate to run smoothly?

2. Do I need to partition my 320 GB HDD, even if I want only Zorin on it.......if yes how do I create partitions, sizes etc?

Thanks.

It should run just fine. You could prepare a live CD/USB and try out before installing.
If you want just Zorin to run on your machine, during installation choose the option to install just Zorin and wipe out everything else. All the partitions/swap etc will be created automatically during installation.

Hi,

here are some links for you about partitioning and installing:

Following MV's advice is also good if you just want Zorin and nothing else
