I'll throw up some screenshots whenever I get around to switching over to my Linux Drive.--It may be a while

I think it's because the size of the Hard Drive I installed it on(3GB). That, and it didn't find a proper sound driver. :cry: I don't know how to access my Windows files either. I realized after 5 minutes that I have no idea what the Hell I am doing. 56 MB RAM, and Linux is lagging?! I'm so confused right now. Either Linux is over-rated, or I did something wrong.

BUT IT'S LAGGING!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!


Yes, i know the story, i had 64MB RAM in my system when i first installed Ubuntu, it used up almost all available memory, took ages to do one task, and took ages to close it afterwards, i used my brains and went to a computer fair, got more RAM, and put it in the machine next to the 64MB i already had and guess what? the lagging stopped, hope you did the same thing too as it will be painfully slow otherwise.

Heh, I'm not touching Linux again until I upgrade. Me and my mom well go part shopping after I get back form my trip. She needs to buy a network card after I took one from the ancient computer of doom, and I need an upgrade to do some classes online anyways.
