Welshy-RobHello, 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 xubuntu12:30
=== markjones_ is now known as markjones
Welshy-Robmarkjones, how?12:32
markjonesburn a CD? ;)12:33
Welshy-Robsweet12:35
markjonesWelshy-Rob, sorry, get Lubuntu12:36
Welshy-Robmarkjones, okayy thnx12:40
arthurLOr just install a different desktop environment12:40
arthurL10.10 runs that Unity malarky, right?12:41
arthurLIt'll be rather slow since it's new and being worked on12:41
Welshy-Robah okay, is there a way i can somehow keep my data and just over write the kernal with a different one?12:42
Welshy-Robor will i have to format?12:42
arthurLYou can compile your own kernel and use that without losing any data providing you do it right12:43
arthurLI have never done it myself so I wouldn't know how to go about doing that12:43
arthurLbut Google might :312:43
Welshy-Robhaha okay cool :)12:43
Welshy-Robreally cant be asked to go through the whole backing up and formatting xD12:44
arthurLI'd backup anyway since there's plenty of room for error12:44
arthurLThe 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-Robokayy sounds good, i have no where to backup to though haha my disks are practically bursting12:47
arthurLIn that case, it's down to you as to whether or not you go through with this without a backup ;)12:48
