<DIV>Hello</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for the warm welcome on Wednesday evening.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You might be interested to know that I've managed to fully load Ubuntu on Thursday after some suggestions that were given to me.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However, I do have a few things that I'm having trouble with.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am disappointed a little with the slowness of GNOME - especially with OpenOffice, though perhaps I shouldn't really be too surprised as my system only has 62MB RAM available (2MB has been taken up for the onboard graphics). Are there any ways of how I might speed up the system (eg are there some programmes running in the background that might be taking up RAM that I might not need), before I go and buy some more memory.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm also having problems with the CD player as it sometimes freezes the system when I try to read from it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm finding it difficult getting my head around the linux file management system - I think this is due to my thinking 'Windows'. Do you have any suggestions that might help me change my thinking.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ron</DIV>
