OK, I may not seem Grumpy at the Broadway, but that's a pub :-) I have been finding for the last couple of Ubuntu releases that it's getting more shiny and phone/tablet friendly, and less friendly to my vintage of hardware(*). The developers' idea of what the system should be like seems to be diverging from mine. I have even started wondering about moving to Mint but inertia has prevented me so far. (*) - which is not /that/ ancient, to be honest. But my desktop ran out of memory yesterday, with 4GB RAM (only 3GB visible to the BIOS :-) + 2.5GB swap. And this laptop , with 1GB + 1.5 swap, struggles. And it's not like I am doing video editing. -- best regards, Victor Churchill, Bournemouth -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday 2012-02-07 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread on mailing list: mailto:[email protected] How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
