I just install Ubuntu in my dual OS XP & Vista.... Ubuntu so sweet ... hirap lang sa hardware pag baguhan ka sa Linux .. masakit din sa ulo pero much faster than windows at parang crash free sya...

Super bilis nga ng linux... akala ko nga noon, required ang super-high-end na hardware for compiz to be usable. aba, laking gulat ko...

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.

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)
