Just posting to say thank you. Very informative thread after making the jump to Lubuntu yesterday. Keep up the good work.

Definitely. It's like brand new now, very responsive, quick bootup. Glad i changed.
How do you mark this as solved?

40sec boot to desktop, that's better.

Awesome thank you.

Up and running with Lubuntu. Will give it a try. Looking good so far. Very responsive.

Thanks all for your help, much appreciated.

Very soon i will install Lubuntu, currently burning to CD. I will feedback once it is installed.

I am downloading the CD image of Lubuntu as we speak. Looking forward to it.

The boot-up issues have been over the last week or so. The uninstalling side of things, majority within the last...

Searching the net it seems as if Lubuntu might be the way to go. Will that help with the bootup?

Which would be better - Lubuntu or Xubuntu?

Hello,
On my 6yr old laptop i have installed Ubuntu 11.10.
Specs: 1gb ram, 1.5ghz Intel Celeron, onboard graphics.

I have since taken it back to gnome classic instead of unity, uninstalled all...

I have been using Crunchbang 9.04 for several weeks now. On my old machine (P4 1.5ghz - 1gb ram) it works really well.

Go straight for Crunchbang, well worth it for an old machine.

I tried the "sudo apt-get purge gnome" and it said that it did not exist. So i ran the "Remove Orphaned Packages" and that worked very well, it removed everything that i could see as gnome.

I'm...

I have restarted the machine and logged on to the LXDE session. Just wondering about how to remove Gnome.

Hello from NZ,

I have just installed LXDE, how do i remove Gnome so my Ubuntu is just LXDE?

Kind Regards

I use both MusicBrainz Picard & EasyTag for my music collection. Both are very good.

BleachBit still lists programs I have deleted - Opera, Tremulous & Wine. Why is that?

Very true.

Just tried BleachBit and got rid of 650mb of stuff. Sweet.

I will give BleachBit a try and let you all know how it goes. Cheers.

For some reason when I used Opera, it chewed up my cpu & ram. I ran Firefox at the same time and it used far less. I ran the 'top' command in a terminal to compare the two.

Ubuntuzilla is the way to go. It does Firefox, Thunderbird etc. All the latest versions.

Ubuntuzilla worked very well for me too. Easy.

Just to come from left-field. I recently tried Opera and that kept locking up on me so I turned to Epiphany. It seems sweet as so far.
