Re: [newbie] is linux meant to be slow??

[Alan Shoemaker]

Elizabeth/michael....just a guess, but did you use lnx4win to
install Linux?  If so, then a "real" installation (where Linux
has it's own partitions on the hard drive) of Linux will greatly
speed up the system performance.  On the other hand if my guess
was wrong, here's another guess.  Do you possibly have services
running that you are not using.  These extra services can take
up resources unnecessarily and slow things down as well.  This
could apply even if my first guess was correct.
