After running through all the updates my system is running much better with Ubuntu Mate. The download servers are horribly slow though, 96k in 12 minutes. Richard Kolb II On Fri, Sep 9, 2016 at 9:26 PM, Chris Linstid wrote: > Out of curiosity, why did you disable syslog? >

I was extremely annoyed yesterday that updating ubuntu was taking so long for such a small number of things. I suspect it was their servers more than anything. I'm giving UbuntuMate a try, it's been so long since I setup a personal machine I don't recall everything that I removed from my last
