Hi Bill, Thanks for your reply.
Re: Monitor I find that my CPU will run at 100% for long periods of time & everything slows to a crawl. Also Ubuntu sucks down the memory something fierce. I've run Linspire 6 & the memory & Cpu usage are much lower. Right now my memory is down to 73 MB out of 2 GB... I usually start off with 1540 MBs or so & then it rapidly drops.' After opening Thunderbird Mail with 14 email entities & a Firefox window or 2 I'm down to 1100 MB before starting to browse or write, etc. The memory usage is as bad as MS Win XP. Linspire 6 will start out at 1700 MB and drop more slowly with use. When I close something out it will jump up a bit. Any suggestions?
