akex2> thanks
<liquidsnakex2> well can i just ask for 5 minutes of your time to take alook at my laptops specs
<holstein> i think i did
<holstein> 512mb of ram
<liquidsnakex2> i have 1 GB
<liquidsnakex2> availble now 992 mb
<holstein> even better
<liquidsnakex2> thanks alot
<holstein> sure, thats great
<holstein> you can do a lot with a gig of ram
<holstein> if you arent doing video editing/rendering, you'll be just fine on a box of that era
<liquidsnakex2> yea holstein but in win xp pro i can't do much
<liquidsnakex2> no no no nothing like that i am just using it for office stuff and emailing and browsing
<holstein> liquidsnakex2: but, how old is that install?
<liquidsnakex2> well it came with it i think ://
<holstein> you really need to reinstall windows every now and then
<holstein> and maintain it
<liquidsnakex2> yea...
<liquidsnakex2> exactly
<philipballew> windows is more resource hungry i find and the windows install slows down often
<liquidsnakex2> put antivirus consume the memory and resources
<holstein> not that linux is magic, and maintenance free
<holstein> liquidsnakex2: download a live CD, thats what you will install from
<holstein> try it... you'll probably find the live cd faster than your current XP :)
<liquidsnakex2> i did holstein burnt 2 cd's nd 2 dvds too as backups
<liquidsnakex2> and yes i read about the live cd i am running the laptop from it
<holstein> you dont need to really worry about backups of the installation media
<liquidsnakex2> the question is about my drivers, which is annyoing that's all...
<holstein> liquidsnakex2: whats not working?
<holstein> wifi?
<holstein> is this xubuntu? lubuntu?
