if i were to install the Zorin OS on a VAIO VGN-FE670G runnibg win XP will i be able to have all the drivers for all the standard hardware on the above mentioned machine with no problem. thanks in advance for any and all replies
If these are the specs you may have some slowness. You could try a live cd/usb (if it boots usb) and see how it goes. Zorin can use roughly a gig of memory at idle and then per the specs some is used with shared memory for graphics. You may want to look at MX Linux or AntiX, something with lighter specs might work better.
