Re: [Trisquel-users] Pretty new..

[strypey]

Nexine, I'd like to apologize, on behalf of the Trisquel forum regulars, for  
the hijacking of your thread. I hope you successfully managed to get Trisquel  
installed, and that the first 8 comments or so (the ones that were on-topic)  
were helpful. If you are still having any teething problems, please feel free  
to start a new thread, with a title that reflects those problems.

One thing I'd add is that replacing your old magnetic hard drive with a new  
SSD (Solid State Drive) makes a huge difference, a much bigger difference in  
my experience than increasing RAM from 1GB to 2GB (which I did as well). I  
run Trisquel 7 on an Aspire One mini-laptop ("netbook") that I bought in  
2010. I basically stopped using it a couple of years ago, as it had become  
painfully slow, and I managed to get a slightly newer laptop for $50. When I  
put in an SSD, on the advice of my peer programming buddy, it made a *huge*  
difference, and the Aspire One is back to being my main computer (I sold all  
the other prior to relocating).
