How do you find the speed of Ubuntu? I have a relatively slow laptop, hence the reason I've kept Gentoo on it. It crawled a few years ago when I had Red Hat 8 and 9 on it. I nuked that, put on XP/Gentoo, and it was hella fast in comparison. This week, I scraped it and have reinstalled Gentoo with the latest kernel. (Geez, I wish that I had saved some key config files before doing so...)
