Hi, I have an emachines desktop computer. Windows xp became corrupted and lost a file so I couldn't boot windows. I installed ubuntu via usb stick to replace xp. Ubuntu loads, and will work, but really slow, slow, slow. I think the emachines desktop has sufficient ram and memory to run ubuntu, but it is too slow to be of use. I would like to replace ubuntu with puppy linux, but I can't get puppy installed. I tried using a usb stick since the cd/dvd drive doesn't work. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, John |

Probably is working now but in your case but in the case of Ubuntu's slowness when the problem persist then Unity DE could be the reason because it requires a robust HW configuration. I would recommend going to a super-light distro as Puppy as last resort, first try Xubuntu or Lubuntu. |
