Hi. I'm not a girl who is very technically inclined. I have only used Windows until now (currently Windows 7). I just got a new computer though and it can boot from flash devices and usb drives and was thinking about giving Linux a try. Zorin sounds appealing because of the advertized Windows feel to it. I have some questions though.
I wonder how much technical knowledge one needs to install it? Also, with Windows 7, I had to install drivers for my motherboard for the Realtek Ethernet controller and the USB 3 ports. Gigabyte does not have Linux drivers on their site; only Windows. Does Zorin come with such drivers?
All of my hard drives are ntfs and most are usb hard drives. Will Zorin automatically recognize them or does it take some kind of 3rd party software?
Assuming I can access the drives, they're labeled with letter names under Windows, will they be labeled differently under Linux?
