Okay, I like Ubuntu… or at least I did… well, I still do… it’s complicated. I like all the new features of Hardy Heron, but it seems to come at the price of performance. I can almost go so far as to say my Dell C400 running OpenSUSE 11 outperforms my desktop running Hardy Heron.
My laptop is a Pentium M @ 1.2 ghz w/512mb RAM. My desktop is an AMD64 @ 2.2 w/1.5gb RAM.
WTF.
… and don’t get me started on when I had HH running on my laptop. It was totally useless for just about anything useful. Not even running XFCE could save the day.
That said, I’m downloading Linux Mint with high hopes — but not expecting miracles, as it’s based on Ubuntu.
