I’m thinking of trying Zorin. I kind of like the looks of it. Can it be dual booted with Windows 7? Should I even try that? I have a spare 64-bit computer I can put it on and I’m tempted to try.
Yes, it dual-boots fine with Windows.
Just run the live Zorin disk and see how you like it.
Then if you want to install just select to install as a 2nd op system along side windows.
When you boot your PC you will see a short menu from which you can select Windows or Zorin.
Lots of help on the forums at the Zorin site :-)
