| Welshy-Rob | Hello, my ubuntu (10.10) seems to be running really slowly on my system, i can only run about two programs at once and it still manages to crash now this could be because i have a pretty poor pc but the previous version of ubuntu used to run so much faster! is there anything you can suggest i do? | 12:23 |

| markjones_ | try xubuntu | 12:30 |
| === markjones_ is now known as markjones | ||
| Welshy-Rob | markjones, how? | 12:32 |
| markjones | burn a CD? ;) | 12:33 |
| Welshy-Rob | sweet | 12:35 |
| markjones | Welshy-Rob, sorry, get Lubuntu | 12:36 |
| Welshy-Rob | markjones, okayy thnx | 12:40 |
| arthurL | Or just install a different desktop environment | 12:40 |
| arthurL | 10.10 runs that Unity malarky, right? | 12:41 |
| arthurL | It'll be rather slow since it's new and being worked on | 12:41 |
| Welshy-Rob | ah okay, is there a way i can somehow keep my data and just over write the kernal with a different one? | 12:42 |
| Welshy-Rob | or will i have to format? | 12:42 |
| arthurL | You can compile your own kernel and use that without losing any data providing you do it right | 12:43 |
| arthurL | I have never done it myself so I wouldn't know how to go about doing that | 12:43 |
| arthurL | but Google might :3 | 12:43 |
| Welshy-Rob | haha okay cool :) | 12:43 |
| Welshy-Rob | really cant be asked to go through the whole backing up and formatting xD | 12:44 |
| arthurL | I'd backup anyway since there's plenty of room for error | 12:44 |
| arthurL | The minimum reqs for Ubuntu seem to keep increasing with each new version so if your machine is lacking - per se - I'd consider a different distro like Arch or Gentoo. They're quite advanced but worth learning about. | 12:45 |
| Welshy-Rob | okayy sounds good, i have no where to backup to though haha my disks are practically bursting | 12:47 |
| arthurL | In that case, it's down to you as to whether or not you go through with this without a backup ;) | 12:48 |

| beds | iawn | 20:10 |
