Oh great, I've read loads of articles about security tests on Windows, Macs and Linux machines and Linux always kicks ass, but I wasn't sure if I need to install extra software or not. I'm pretty careful what I download, I like synaptic as I can install almost all of the software I normally use in o...

Yeah, mine is a Latitude D600.

Should I run any security programs like AVG, or do I get good protection on the web without any extra software?

All of the programs I've installed seem to work great - impressed so far.

It's OK, don't worry about the partition problem, I think I'll just install again removing XP. I've got an old laptop too that kept crashing because of a memory problem.

OK, I manage to remove loads of windows programs to free up 6GB of space and then I installed Ubuntu via the WUBI.exe file. Ubuntu was running really slowly - a lot slower than Windows XP was. I then eventually got LXDE installed, that runs a little faster but it is still very slow. Sometimes it can...

As you might guess, I'm new to Linux. I've only used it a bit as a server and have never installed it myself. I have an old PC running windows XP which I'll to use as a Linux system now as I want to learn more about it. My PC only has 512mb ram and is running slowly, so I wanted to install a lightwe...
