Re: The Ubuntu Thread
A few days ago, i installed the latest version of Ubuntu to a USB stick, but its slow as bawls. It takes like 3 minutes to open consol. Any ideas?It doesnt matter where you draw the line, everything leads to the same place... Over the line!

use a lightweight distro that loads into ram like macpupComment

Re: The Ubuntu Thread
FedoraLiveCD is very convenient.
And what's the intended use of your Ubuntu VM? Aside from setting up whatever working environment you want to use (e.g. vim configuration and extensions, IDEs) it's pretty easy to set up everything on a per need basis, especially with the Debian packages.
And no Ubuntu thread is complete without mentioning Moebuntu, the best way to improve your Ubuntu experience.Play my files

Re: The Ubuntu Thread
i have a version of puppy linux installed on a older HP computer that was previously only compatible with windows vista (no thx). its ubuntu based, very very light weight, extremely stable, and ridiculously fast (compared to using vista).
i think more people should look into atleast trying linux in dual boot with windows to see just how much better everything runs. im no linux guru by any means, but it is real easy to setup, and there is TONS of help around the web you can google whenever you need help with anything.

Re: The Ubuntu Thread
lightweight means it takes up very little in terms of resources. easy on the gpu, only needs 1gb of ram to run flawlessly, etc. these kind of distros are fantastic for breathing new life into old computers. I put lubuntu on my brother's 6-7 year old laptop and it's blazing fast.
macpup is a distribution of linux that you can put onto a usb stick/cd, and when you boot from usb/cd, it will put all of the system files into ram. reading from ram will ALWAYS be faster than reading from anything, even high end solid state drives.
the ubuntu that's on your usb is most likely a live-cd, which is generally used for toying around with before you install to your hard drive.Comment

Re: The Ubuntu Thread
If you're into customization of how everything looks, I would recommend downloading Ubuntu Tweak, and if you want to be able to run Osu! on it or something you need PlayOnLinux and you should also download Wine as it allows you to use several Windows applications.
Haha, I downloaded Ubuntu on my laptop because I had Windows 7 and it got some kind of virus so I decided to just try a new OS and ofc whatever virus I had doesn't do shit to my laptop now. :P
Gimp is a good program for photo editing imo, but there's a bit of a learning curve. I haven't tinkered with it myself much though.
Thanks Gold Stinger, you are amazing!
