Ubuntu help (linux)

lemonbrickcombo [Edit] [Delete] 13:17, 14 January '13

Hello all,

Have had to get rid of my macbook which has finally packed in and for the next few months until I can save for a new one, I'm using a cast off PC which I've booted up with Ubuntu in an attempt to save money and make it run a bit better. Like the look of the system but it is PAINFULLY slow at times.

Have been reading a lot about the customisable nature of Ubuntu and the various desktops and browsers you can install, has anyone got any recommendations on something which runs very smoothly but still looks kinda...good?
