Oh, to have a fast computer with a 3D graphics card the things I could do with it. 
but this ancient Aspire One 1st gen SSD netbook will have to do for now.

Why is he putting his ankles behind his ears? Because he can? Even on this old netbook (it has a 1st gen SSD which is generally slow as a cow) Precise Pangolin is noticeably faster than the previous two 11.xxx releases. I added a "Wikipedia Lens" to the dash so all I have to do is type in a topic and every related wiki pops up as icons and I can click on and Chrome opens immediately. |

I use Gnome fallback (classic) mode. You can also install MATE if you want a fork of Gnome 2. http://mate-desktop.org/install/#ubuntu |

Next to install it on my server...........just a file server/play machine. |
| I installed Xubuntu 12.04 on a low-end 1.6 GHz dual-core Atom-based PC last night. Seems to work well, XFCE is setup nicely, and it recognized my Ralink PCI Wifi card just fine. Wifi throughput is on the low side, though. I'm not sure if it's the driver or if the WPA2 encryption on my network is taxing the CPU though. Not terribly important, as this PC is intended to go out in my workshop so I have Internet access to look things up while working on projects. It's not going to be my primary system. |
