Great computer.
But in Windows XP, I get better performance than on Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is not really slow, but Windows XP is instant.
In Windows, when I press "enter" on a .txt file, or "My Computer" or a disk
partition or folder, and most applications it works instantly.
Before I lift my finger from the key, its already opened.
In Ubuntu, its slower. Much is not slow, and open in 1 second or less,
but its still 1 second too much. Some applications take 2-3 or more
seconds to open.
The overall speed of the operating system, Windows is faster than
Ubuntu.
Windows also boots up faster.
Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-8-generic #1 SMP Thu Feb 14 20:40:45 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
