Right now, I'm using Ubuntu Netbook remix (first day ever using linux). I boot it from a live USB drive and so far, I'm loving it. There's still some things that I need to figure out, I'm sure.

My main problem is that the system suddenly lags, freezes, or loads for too long sometimes. it's rare, but it happens. Is it only because it's running off a USB drive? Should I do the full install?

Details: using an HP mini 110 with Windows 7 Starter (Six months old).
