Public bug reported:
I installed Xubuntu Gutsy with alternative CD. And after an hour long
installation I was finally at the desktop. But I couldn't do anything
since the HDD was constantly working. Just to open the Start Menu I had
to wait for a minute and the mouse was jerky.
So then I reinstalled Xubuntu by using the Server option and after the
base was installed I just install XFCE, XORG, FIREFOX, ABIWORD, GNUMERIC
with APTITUDE. Now Xubuntu works better than before. But once I open up
FIREFOX or any other program it starts to growl again.

I thought 128MB ram is enough for normal work in XFCE I guess this is not true.
I mean even WinXP which was 3years old and full of software worked much better
on this lappy.
