Hi. Until yesterday I was running an (unofficial) copy of Windows 7 on my old desktop pc. It worked fine - good speed etc. -. the desktop has 1 Mb Ram and the processor is 4-5 years old!!
The yesterday I took a deep breath and installed Ubuntu. First of all the installation took for ever - 4-5 hours - and did never reach more that 95% Then I restarted the pc and Linux came up nicely. But now starts the real sad part: 1. Ubuntu runs slow on this PC. As I am writing this, the keyboard strokes are delayed several seconds as if the cache cannot follow my speed of typing - and I am a slow typist!! 2. Ubuntu does not recognize my PS/2 mouse, so I have had to dig out another USB mouse - ok now 3. My scanner is not supported for Linux (it is a CanoScan Lide 200) - which is not coursed by Ubuntu - but by Canon! But is it possible to get a generic driver for the scanner?? 4. I have an Iomega Home Network Harddisk which I could access via the Explorer in Windows, but it does not show in "Places" under Ubuntu - how can I get access?? Do I need to set up a share for the drives on the harddisk?? Finally I would like to remove the Ubuntu I have installed on my laptop side by side with Windows 7 (this is a legitimate copy) Help for any of the above subject will be most appreciated :-)) Steen
