Ubuntu considerations, thinking about installing it.

[quote=“boardjnky4,post:20,topic:28595"”]

well i havent had windows installed on this machine in over a year, but i can say that my machine was never FAST with windows.

btw, my computer is a Pentium4m 2.4ghz with 512mb ram. Right now i am running feisty fawn fresh install with beryl setup with transparencies and wobbly windows and all and i am not noticing ANY lag. things are very snappy, and very cool looking for the minimal amount of tweaking that ive done

Yeah I keep Windows on a separate partition just in case… Came in handy when I needed to setup verizon DSL.

Not to thread hijack but how is your performance in firefox with beryl enabled? When I had beryl enabled (on my laptop and desktop), switching tabs was noticeably slower. So slow in fact that I have permanently disabled beryl.
