Dear Lubuntu friends,

After a period of weeks of being slow to open web pages, and slow mouse
pointer, panic hit when my laptop (Intel Celeron M Pentium III) wouldn't
boot properly and started giving drive error codes, etc...
After spending most of Saturday troubleshooting the problem and doing
multiple Safe Mode restarts, I came across the *"Ubuntu Tweak"* under
System Tools. I hadn't noticed this before, so I am assuming it came with a
recent package update.
I ran the "Janitor" and it cleaned my harddrive of old/obsolete files and
packages, Firefox cache, old kernels, etc... and what do you know? All back
to normal and the laptop is quick and light!

On another subject, I have now changed from connecting wirelessly to my
router, instead using the ethernet connection 'wired' setup (eth0). The
connection is much more stable as a result.

A note of thanks to the Lubuntu developers for the Ubuntu Tweak tool.
It has truly done wonders for my old laptop.

With best regards,
Steve Duckworth
South Africa
