Hello Zorin Community,

I've decided that i want to get back into the linux OS and am passionate to learn. This OS system looks absolutely stunning and inviting. Props to the creators.

I have Host Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate. I am using Guest Zorin 7 thru Virtual Box.

I would like to setup my guest to be fully operational. That is having Shared folders & using the dedicated graphics card.

I apologize for asking because i do find everything too scattered and not sure what applies to me. Please give me any critism or guides or tutorials that are good for me.

Thank you!

20 Things to Do After Installing ZorinOS to USB Stick
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dtta5nl2s75uqi1/20ThingsToDoAfterBurningZorinOSToUSBStick.html?dl=0

Additional Notes:

1. I ended up getting a larger 32 gig stick and doing the regular Zorin Install to fit more on the drive rather than using Universal USB installer which had me stuck at 4000mb of installation room.

2. Install Konqueror from terminal instead of software center:
sudo apt-get install Konqueror

3. Install CalligraWord:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install calligra

To Be Continued:

1. Need to get Paltalk working on Play On Linux and make a tutorial for this!
