I agree it was kind of a dirty trick that I was required to sign up for an additional Ubuntu account in order to delete my account here. Now they've allegedly deleted my account here (but I can still...
Nice work by the mods to get the site back up and running, kudos! :)
Shame on the person who hacked it. :(

Please provide a link to how I can terminate my Ubuntu One account. I only have it because you made me. I don't want it any more.
How can you say "it has nothing to do with us" when the only reason I signed up for Ubuntu One is so I could log in here to delete this account? You required me to sign up for Ubuntu One, therefore I...
Please terminate my account and delete all personal data from Ubuntu Forums, Ubuntu One, and any other sites/services associated with Ubuntu or Canonical.

Xubuntu is easy to install. It uses the Xfce interface, which is what I personally use on my main computer; I find it to be very intuitive and "classic." Simply install the "xubuntu-desktop" package...
Why did you uninstall Windows if it was working flawlessly, especially if you had not yet tested whether Ubuntu was an adequate replacement for your needs?
I am confused whether you wish to completely replace Vista or install Ubuntu side-by-side?
I see no reason why Ubuntu should support hardware older than Ubuntu itself (first released 2004).
The installer will automatically choose the optimum partitions and sizes (unless you choose "something else"). :)
Full install instructions are here:...
It is meaningless to discuss performance without knowing your hardware specs. Kindly enlighten us. :)
System tools such as 'top' and System Monitor can be very useful in diagnosing performance...
