Pero hindi pa rin crash-free ang linux... my Intel 4965AGN wireless transmitter caused frequent hangs until I turned off the N capability...

all I need now is to be able to run some windows apps...

if you dont want to dual boot or virtualize windows you may want to look at: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxlinux/

im using crossover to run ie6 (for site testing) on my linux and mac machines.

compiz ftw! talo bells and whistles ng mac and windows desktop.

Right on!

Sarap makipag-chat sa Tsikot Shoutbox while watching a video in the background, because the browser window is almost transparent! Hehe...

The Desktop Cube animation and Expo screen never fail to amaze people...

I am a Hackintosh and Ubuntu user.

I am loving it. Saying bye bye to Windows. hehehe... But any of you guys know how to speed up the Ubuntu system on my P4 laptop?

Init 3

seriously, prevent processes that you don't need from running at start-up

hmmm.... ano pa ba?

if you wanna go all out performance, use xubuntu. your computer will be like running win98se2 on a p4.

disable compiz (if you're using it).
turn off services that you dont really use/need.
top to see what processes use a lot of your notebook's resources.

disable xorg(conky lol) if it's running. i just noticed that i uses up 5-10% of the memory whenever it's activated. as for updates, they also eat up some memory. as for CPU processes, i seem to be stable at 0.8gHz(as what conky says)
