Great info, but he is using Fedora not ubuntu.....:-)

Great info mfillpot, thanks :-)

What are the sizes or your DVDs, CDs and USBs if you have any?

Another note, if your PC is lacking in graphics then I would suggested a lighter version of linux that is not graphic intensive. Zorin 6 maybe too much. Instead try Mint 13, or, Zorin 6 light.

mint 13 xfce

You can burn Zorin 6 Light which is 695MB big to a CD or a 1GB usb drive

Zorin 6 light

That clears things up.

You won't be able to install the iso image unless you can burn it to a DVD or usb. USBs are better since you can rewrite to them. The image is 1.3GB big which means you can use a 2GB flash drive (usb), burn the image to the flash on your fedora system and boot your fedora system using the usb drive. From there you can install Zorin 6.

There is another way to install from the image without burning it to a drive, is to use PXE boot from a network server. This is more technical and something I am still mastering....LOL

If you can find a 2GB usb drive, then you are in business.

If I understand correctly, you want to install Zorin 6 64bit alongside Fedora? This is possible. All you need is a free partition or resize the drive using Zorin. If you want to access or copy files from your fedora install without installing another distro, you can use Zorin or any other liveCD of your preferred distro, boot the system and copy the files to another storage media or to a server.

My suggestions of Linux OS to use for newcommers:

Mint 13 with the mate or XFCE DE
Xubuntu 12.04
Lubuntu 12.04, if you have little memory

I am mostly a debian/Ubuntu user, but prefer ubuntu in most cases. Very user friendly and works with most modern devices with little need to install additional drivers. SolusOS is a great Debian based system with all the codecs installed to work out of the box. Use that after you are comfortable with linux.
