To clarify, you'll have a zone (just one) that will be the default zone.
(You can't have multiple zones without an AppleTalk router or bridge. But
there's no advantage to multiple zones until you have *lots* of traffic or
devices -- unlikely in your apartment.)
You won't be able to name that one zone, but that's okay, since you won't
need to distinguish it from any other. (The chooser won't present a zone
list.)
Having only one zone won't affect operation at all. Many (most?) Macs
opperate in single zone environments quite happily.
