[20:33] hello, i have recently installed ubuntu 10.10 on a rather old machine; attached a brand new USB 802.11 n dongle which was a pain to install and have recognized by the system; issue is, the machine is really slow; am new to ubuntu, only tried fedora before, was not impressed with its management of usb and wifi either; many thanks for your help [20:34] For generic ubuntu questions, try #ubuntu, this channel is specific to the edubuntu flavor
