I am a complete newbie at ZORIN and have limited skills. I do NOT know how to burn DVDs, do NOT have a burner installed, nor burning software, and do not know what an ISO file is. I use a DELL Optiplex GX400, 1 gig ram, 1,7 gig CPU, Windows XP PRO 32 bit, FireFox browser mostly, but I do have others. Based on other posts this should be what you need to know to answer my question. Is ZORIN downloadable as an ,EXE file as any other program for XP is? WITHOUT having to BURN a dvd or CD, which I do not know how to do either? If not is an install CD/DVD available on sites such as EBAY or retail such as STAPLES? Price at retail, used? I download programs frequently without an issue using any of my 4 browsers. ZORIN should be no different. If it is more complicated that that, then I will stay with what I use. I have copies of the DELL cd and can always get other vendors versions on CD from EBAY. Please answer completely and in terms I can understand. Thanks.

Hi,

you should contact the devs about a hard copy if you cannot burn an ISO.

You can also do a USB install but your PC must be able to boot from a USB stick:

Look in the "Tutorials" section for further info.
