Hello to the list. I'm teacher and i've installed Xubuntu10.04 in two school labs . 1) 9 PCs : 256MB ,P4 adsl internet connection 2) 8 PCs : 756MB, P4 ,isdn internet connection Overall i managed to have a usable lab with software suitable for my students, and almost all hardware recognized (web camera,scanner,sound). So a great thanks to foss community and xubuntu. In the spirit of futher advance i want to share the tho major issues i encountered: a) in the isdn lab the installer was taking much much time possible getting updates? , and i had to unplug network cable to have a cd-only installation (with the intention to put apt-cache in the server) b) in both labs the first time i booted ,almost in all PCs, the system was extremely slow and according to system monitor more than 90% of ram was in use! Strangely i'could find a process to justify that so i guess the kernel must be responisible,but how ? In the second reboot ram utilization dropped to normal levels of 120MB most and system was usable again. Thanks.
